ASTRO Spectra 25 pin

Post by psteele35 »

I have a high power ASTRO Spectra. It is a single head setup. I want to pull audio from the 2nd 25 pin connector and run it to the radio rebroadcast feature of my siren. I want to pull the audio from that location because the level should be constant. If I pull it from the speaker leads the audio levels for the rebroadcast will change every time I adjust the volume. Also, it would be a lot easier for me to run two wires a few inches instead of several feet all the way to the front of the vehicle.
