[QUOTE="zzzzzer, post: 381204, member: 2704"] I hear' ya, bro. I hate 'em beyond belief. Here are some ideas posted by an audio/alarm installer: [B]I used to work in the security install business, so I thought I'ld share some of my experience. Some ideas to improve a security system: - Battery backup (located inside the vehicle, of course) - Mount the relay pack/alarm somewhere besides right underneath the steering column - 2 sirens. This is the simplest way to disable an alarm that most people don't really think about. If you cut the siren wire, the only thing that happens is your lights are flashing...Hide the wires going to the siren if possible, wrapping them in electrical tape is a good idea to make them not so noticeable. Also, if you can hide the siren (such as behind a headlight or something) than it is more difficult to get to. - Another siren inside the vehicle - That damn thing is LOUD inside a confined area like a car... It also prevents a theif from listening for the clicking of the relays so they can determine the location of the relay pack/alarm. - Mercury switched on the hood/trunk - If you have a remote start, you should have one of these under the hood for the started kill anyway. Use them to trigger the alarm if the hood or trunk is opened. - My personal favorite - proximity/motion sensor. Most of these are 2 stage: First stage warns them if they got to close to a vehicle. The second stage instantly triggers an alarm. - Diode Isolate EVERYTHING - an old trick to disable an alarm was to break a light and send high voltage back down the broken bulb wire. since your alarm is connected to your lights to make them flash, this could potentially short circuit your whole alarm. You might have seen this being done in the movie "Gone in 60 seconds". - Keep in mind that an alarm is only a deterant and if someone REALLY knows what they are doing, they can still get into your car. So don't leave valuables in plain view... - RAYDUR [/B] [/QUOTE]
