The Rumbler is an intersection-clearing system that produces low frequency sound waves in order to penetrate the interfering sounds found in a civilian’s car (the radio, cell phones, ear buds or chatter). The system consists of an amplifier with a built-in timer and two subwoofers. Its timer allows the tone to sound for up to eight seconds, alerting civilians at hazardous intersections, and then automatically shuts off. The Rumbler can be paired with most 100/200-watt emergency siren amplifiers, and is most effective in dense urban environments with heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

The new 200-watt Boss Siren for patrol vehicles allows you to run two separate siren functions at the same time with clear sound frequency. If you have two speakers, you can have two different tones emit from each speaker or have the same tone operate at the same time to double the power. This system can also be safely operated using a single speaker, but the siren’s power output would be halved and the system would lose the dual-tone function. There are seven different siren tones (Yelp, Sting, Wail, etc.) that can be selected. A 400-watt version is also available.
