[ricofojas2011]

[darklotusryder]

Listen closely and you can hear the stormalert 1004 chiming

[cocacolarocksalot]

There was one of these near my elementary school and i was walkin my dog(btw im in middle school) and it went off, I had to cover my ears and my dogs ears cause we where right next to it

[DanielJaegerFilms]

Awesome setup, I'd love to have one!

[breydentower10]

yea but im getting a used one i will fix at my uncles shop. becuase were i live all we have r 2001-130s.

[JMAN123436]

Do you use thunderbolt siren for tornado warnings now instead of the model 2 or 5?

[murrfarms]

Ha, I just noticed that you could ever-so-slightly hear the little StormAlert's chimes right when you walked out of the shop (about 0:13 in). Surprised to hear that over the loud behemoth behind it!

[1987murray1]

Do I hear a blower At 0:08 - 0:24?

[Videogamer52100]

The siren controls look new

[breydentower10]

Is it illegal for someone to own there own warning siren because i might by a federal signal 2001-130

[spotandtiggerbug]

@breydentower10 You have to ask your EMA. 2001's are a LOT of money, ive seen the pricing list.

[breydentower10]

@spotandtiggerbug I forgot what the EMA was again

[spotandtiggerbug]

@breydentower10 Emergency Management :P 2001's cost over 10,000 dollars, and Model 2's cost 2,000. I would get a Model 2 if I lived in the country, but I cant because I live in a neighborhood

[nickman888]

@spotandtiggerbug lol 2001, try 32,000 dollars, installation and all.

[spotandtiggerbug]

@nickman888 Actually, a 130 w/ DC Battery Backup and a Two Way Radio is $17,040, so I doubt it would cost 15K to put a siren on a pole

[nickman888]

@spotandtiggerbug im saying it cost abt 32,000-45,000 dollars alltogether. the siren itself cost alot too, but im not sure

[spotandtiggerbug]

@nickman888 That would cost more than a P-50 if it was 45.... It is probably about 20-25

[nickman888]

@spotandtiggerbug true

[spotandtiggerbug]

@breydentower10 Just the siren head costs 7-8,000 dollars, just saying.

[jacolbyredsox]

Just Curious, Why would you have all this mounted on your personal home?

[NHComputerGeek]

hey! you think maybe you could give a little tour for all the stuff you have mounted up there? just as to what they are and when you'd use the thunderbolt over the other etc... thanks!

[CricketboyStudios]

Oh how I'd love to push that button...

[seawind0721]

Would love to see a vid of you doing a remote activation. 

[soccerdude7330]

@seawind0721 i tried remote activation during the test, but it failed. Never trust a stupid MagicJack.. guess I'll have to go for broke and get a landline...

[techhelper1]

@soccerdude7330 VOIP if you had a stable ISP still.

[BransonSportsClub]

@seawind0721 Your neighbors must love you!! What a setup, I'm envious.

[akalegoman]

where did you get that coool controllers

[soccerdude7330]

@akalegoman I built it with AF timer parts and spare parts around the shop.

[douro20]

A 4003? I don't see a 4003.

[Blue10AEMia]

Sounds awesome, did they ever get that Sentry fixed?

[soccerdude7330]

@Blue10AEMia Unfortunately no.. they are still "getting around to it".

[CoasterFreak765]

Wow dude, u are a great person to help Dickson TN. out with warning them about weather. :)

[Kidddas53]

maybe it's annoying to ur neighbors if u keep running that siren

[soccerdude7330]

@Kidddas53 They don't mind, in fact a few of them actually wanted to hear it. lol

[tornadofreak1994]

@soccerdude7330 wow cool neighbors. and do you have any way of activating the siren remotely? if no, are you going to get somthing?

[soccerdude7330]

@tornadofreak1994 I use a Viking RC-3 telephone relay to activate it remotely.

[Ciccothe]

will you ever make system test 18

[soccerdude7330]

@Ciccothe Maybe if you kids will quit bugging the living hell out of me about it......

[coffeeandsugar20]

@soccerdude7330 I KNOW RIGHT?!

[Ciccothe]

@soccerdude7330 ok i saw a 4003 in the shed

[carexpertandy]

SCREW YOU CHIMES!!! IM LOUDER!!! 

[rowen211]

If there is a tornado, will you set both of the sirens off? 

[soccerdude7330]

@rowen211 Well speaking that the Thunderbolt would blow away (quite literally.. lol) the Model 2, I probably won't. We have a generator so the Model 2 is just a backup siren if the power goes out for an extended period of time.
