police sirens are different than standard alarm sirens. They are more like a regular amp/speaker setup. The control box/amp goes inside the car and produces and amplifies the signal, which is fed to the speaker. I'm not sure if you can simply trigger the unit with 12V to have it sound off. But to answer your questions, you'll need a controller and a siren.

Notice that it has 2 wires.My question is,do i still need the box that would mount inside the vehicle,or can i just hook this up to a relay?

you need the siren its self
the speaker is just s plain speaker much like subs and an amp.
youll need one of these

No i don't plan on pulling anyone over,i just want something different besides the usual alarm siren..I've looked at all my options which include a bb,airhorns,piezo siren.I just want something different that will stand out a lil more if set off..Usually the sound of a police siren makes people turn around.The normal alarm siren folks nowadays just ignore since some people have their alarms set so sensitive,that it hurts the rest of us..
