Nah, I never saw a need for it.

Elaborate on "which speaker" and why it is an issue?

I don't have a "need" for it either. I don't have a need for a lot of stuff I have on my truck anyways. Just fun and nice to have.

Back to your question, doesn't each speaker put out of different sound?

Negative. Each speaker pushes the same tone unless you have 2 sirens each individually pushing a tone to a speaker.

Siren A---Speaker A
Siren B----Speaker B

Which would provide a dual tone

No I meant which speaker to tap inside the cab for the radio feature

Let me give you some background. The "Rad" feature lets you take a signal from your two-way radio, or regular radio in my case, and broadcast it over the pa without having to hold the mic down. Sometimes I go out with my friends and we want to listen to music without blasting my speakers I could just put it on the rad setting and it would just play it over the pa. Not amazing quality but pretty good. Something to listen to. I didn't know which door to tap the sound from since I though that each door produces a different channel... I could be wrong...

Green lights eh colport? Must be from Ontario, where are you getting your green lights from? I am a VFF in Ontario to, and it seems hard to find any companies with a good selection of lights available in green, well that list them on their website anyway. Alot of the companies carry them, but dont list them on their website.

As a fellow vollie, I was wondering what kinds of prices you can get on LED lighting stuff...

UPDATE: As another LED lighting distributer, please dont hesitate to contact me at txpss@hotmail.com if you want/need LED lights at a fraction of what they normally cost. I got my distributership so I could get lights for me (I only had to have a minimum order of what it would cost me to get 2 slimlighters at Galls before I got the distributer discount, which you will get if you order through me.)

Case in point: Whelen Slimlighter Ultra: $250........My version: Between $150 and $175 depending on colors.

Many other deals at very similar price differences. I can assure you, though, that the lights as JUST AS GOOD-- its the Whelen logo you pay the premium for...
