besides Viper, does any1 know of a good car alarm for around $200. I'm looking to get 1 for my gf for xmas, and Viper seems a lil high and a lil bit over rated. Any websites any1 know of? Thanx, Wes
I was talking with a car audio shop guy (older guy who has been in the buisness from the beginning) a couple months ago and he said most of the major brands are made by the same company, so they are basicly the same alarm. The only difference is the name on the box.
When I get an alarm, I'm just getting a basic alarm and add a second horn onto it, hidden in a not so common place. So when the alarm goes off and they cut the wires for the first horn/speaker/whatever you will still have the other one going off in a hidden location.
He was also telling me to making it a battery powered piezo horn with a key shut off(one of those round "unpickable" locks) so there isn't a way to turn it off without the key. But if you loose the key your screwed LOL
