Radioshack Piezo Buzzer
Radioshack Piezo Buzzer
Hey!
I found the thread about the Piezo Buzzer and figured I would give it a shot. So I got the P/N273-060 and wired it like in the thread. With the hood open I hear a "beep" that sounds pretty nice but with the hood closed it is hard to hear if I am not right beside the hood on the driver's side. Are there louder buzzers? Am I doing something wrong? I walk behind my car and it is very hard to detect...and no, it is not my hearing
I did not put the buzzer inside of the box, but outside the case, so that is not the reason either. At this point I would like to ask how you guys mounted it on the outside? Just tape it?
Thanks for any help --

Re: Radioshack Piezo Buzzer
I used the buzzer as per CorFire's post. I did the wire soldering like James (thru the relay box), and mounted the buzzer against the inside panel of the fender. You can run the wire out of the fuse box easily, there's a notch in the lid/base.
Here's a shot of the setup...

Say, What is that rocker swithched circuit in the front of the fuse box for? I'm thinking of something like that for engine compartment lighting.

Funny....that's exactly what that is. I did blue LEDs under the hood to shine on the cover, makes it glow almost the same color as the car.
Here's a shot in the garage..

Nicely done; looks great. I'm definitely doing this now. Buzzer and lighting project. Will it ever end?
