How in the name of all that is holy am I supposed to feed the 2nd gen adapter's two wires with terminal spade connectors through a hole the size of a needle point? I love the Ring YouTube video ... "Just feed the wires through", cut video, fast forward an hour of iff-camera swearing, cut in, "and tighten under the screws." I mean, come on! Any ideas, peeps?

    I didn't! To make life a LOT easier, I bought some really cheap speaker cable, connected it to the siren using bear wires and fed that through the hole in the wall. I then mounted the siren and used a couple of wood screws in the rafters to connect the bear wires from the siren to the fork connectors on the transformer. It made fitting the Siren a lot easier as I didn't have to fiddle trying to do that up a ladder. You could cut the fork connectors off, but you might void the warranty. If you choose that route, make sure the transformer works first! There are probably other methods, but doing it my way helped me avoid falling off the ladder three stories up!
