so someone tried to steal my truck again last night. they took my nav and distroyed my dash, same thing happined last year and im ready to by an alarm now.
i know absolutly nothing about alarms so i need some help.
im looking at the viper 5901, goo choice or should i get something else? what add ons should i get with it? will remote start work on a diesel?

That fuckin sucks dude! How'd they get in, did they pop the door lock? My truck got broken into about a month ago and they stole my D3. So now I have the new Kenwood 9140 and a Prestige alarm with proximity sensor.

I got mine done at Auto Sounds on Brundage. I know the owners (not like best friends kind of thing) they seem like upstanding individuals :shrug:

5901 is good
remote start will work on diesel.

my roommate used to be a stereo/alarm installer for a shop so he is going to do mine he just hasnt done it in a few years so he wasnt much help in picking one out.

-A good installer
-5901
-Glass break
-Hood pin/Battery Back-up
-Omni maybe

 

[Forklift]

-A good installer
-Battery Back-up
-Horn honk
-Extra siren(s)
-Hood pin
-Glass break
-5901

more like that order

 

[redline05]

Horn honk is a preference, but I never saw a point to extra sirens. They're all the same volume, just more of them. I think they're loud enough, you want more than the Horn honk, get a Piezo and they'll gtfo.

Also, I've had the Glass break save my ass before. I'll always recommend it from here on out.

Everything else is acceptable. :crazy:

you need to do something like blackbear tuning and do alarm install trips around the country for members

I have a code-alarm (square button) with ignition kill, shock motion, and a 120 db, 6 sound horn, with a super bright blue led, and hood pin. Also, keyless door handles, with key rod to door latch removed, and Autoguard hood latch protector. A wisecomm/ clover wc-960 audio security camera, with motion flood lights, overlooks it at night. I had a thief look in the window, last April, seen the led, and walked away. He got someones Tahoe, across the street, instead. I viewed the tape, had full discription, of him and vehicle, and gave it to the police.

While its try that one siren can be loud and that it takes a doubling to increase the output, so therefore 1-2-4-8-16-etc, I dont view it like that so much. I view it as if a theif wants to defeat one siren, ok, 2 takes twice as long, 4 takes twice as long as that etc. and they are fused on different circuits and different relays, so dont think that shorting one will kill them all. Add my horns and then my airhorns to that, good luck! Oh, think you can pop my hood? Its pinned. Wanna pop the battery, I got two of them and have fun seeing with the strobes going off! Pop the batteries, I got back-ups, wanna look for them? I got interior sirens, have fun with them!

Yes Im sick, I know it

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely understand. My set-up is advanced as well. Really the only thing I haven't done is the dual Piezo's on the inside. I'm gonna see if I can set them up to be slightly off-set from each other for maximum pain in the near future.

I bet you'd love to watch someone break into your vehicle lol :worship:

i had an alarm on my old truck and they stole it anyways.. if a thief wants your ride u hes gonna take it, trust me! now petty thieves that break in just for radios, etc will be detoured by a extremely loud horn like train horns and strobe lights.. sounds silly and stupid but whatever draws attention is best. i gave up on alarms, too many people know their way around them.
