I am considering putting 2 or 3 sirens in my car in case of a full alarm being set off. What I am not sure is if it is against the law. I heard somewhere that 127db or somewhere near this number is the legal limit. HOwever I also have read posts on here that people have put 2 sirens in their car. I just would like ot know what the legal ramifications are before I attempt on buying my 1 or 2 extra sirens without getting in trouble.
Thanks
Mark

it really has nothing to do with the number of sirens, your on the right track with the db liimit. I'm not sure since it's probably different in each county/state, but putting in a second siren will PROBABLY not be illegal. You should be fine. Remember that if you have two 120db sirens, the total of the two together is 123 db so you're three sirens will be close to 126 db. Don't forget to use a relay to get the most out of each siren.

I didn't know there was a law for that, guess mine is just the legal limit
