2001-130s... penetrate better my a**, though I can't say that the HOR compares to it in terms of output. That 7/10 port ratio would catch people's attention better than the scream of the 2001s. Old sirens can be overhauled and upgraded to comply with the new tech for way cheaper, with the exception of battery power, but I guess that some cities never get it. Oh well.
