u/Agitated-Letter-3219

Follow-up to the original post/video I uploaded on here a few minutes ago (lol)

My neighbors (hopefully) don't have an issue with it lol

Also, this is the first siren test I've done in months, so its been a while since they've gotten any sirens from me lol, but this is probably the loudest so far, so hopefully they take it well 😅

It was cheap to make, runs off an old(ish) Sony DAV-DZ170 (which increases their sound output by ~20dB or 100 TIMES as loud as they otherwise would be) and weighs almost nothing.

- Will it be heard from miles away? definitely not.

- Is it a solution to the problem? absolutely not!

- Is it better than the current situation where there isn't a siren within any kind of audible range because they refuse to install one near us? most definitely.

And for context, no, it isn't going to stay outside. It'll only see the outdoors for tests or alerts. Other than that, it'll live in my room on the floor.👍

For context, the horns are PYLE PHSP4 Indoor/Outdoor 6" PA Horn Speakers, 50 Watts @ 8 Ohms each, SPL (@1W/1m) is 100dB (per horn).

The amplifier (Sony DAV-DZ170) each channel puts out 15 Watts @ 3 Ohms, and all 4 surround channels are used, one per horn.

That means each horn is getting approximately 5.625 watts, so a little over five and a half watts each.

It's not the greatest, and it's certainly not the prettiest, but it works, and it's loud enough to alert any neighbors within at LEAST 500 feet. (hopefully)

Also, I would've put the flair as "Mini Siren/Model", but it isn't based off any other siren, so I tagged it as "Personally Owned Siren" instead.

Ordered a Minbitt plush 3 weeks ago, it finally arrived in the mail today. I open it up to find it vacuum-packed to a pancake. i open it and immediately try to see if the face will glow in the dark, since that was one of the main selling points.

but it doesn't.

I just assumed it was from it being really bright in the room at the moment, so i tried it again later when it got dark.

still not glowing.

I then realize that it might be a bootleg. I compare the plush I ordered off eBay with pictures of the actual preorder listing. It suddenly became very clear that I had ordered a bootleg. Honestly not too upset about it, it's still a cute plush and all, and the listing even showed pictures of the bootleg version, it just didn't cross my mind that it might have been a bootleg. I only bought it off eBay because I missed the preorder, unfortunately. Wish I could've gotten an official one, but this one is fine if I'm being completely honest.
