Is it ok to just splice it in?
Im looking to add a mini piezo siren to my clifford 3.3x

Is this the correct way or is the another?
Thank you!

Yes..wire in parallel (+ to + and - to -)

Thanks, would it still be ok, if I grounded the siren out by it self, or does it even matter?
I kind of a noob with alarms

add a fuse to the 1st siren wiring so that if a theif tries to short the wires to the battery it doesn't kill the other siren.

That kind of confueses me, how would I add a fues to the first sirens wireing?
Inline fuse?

I was just thinking tap into the brown wire coming out of the brain and then to the siren and ground the siren to dash frame

so the brown wire comes out, and splits into 2 wires, one goes to the dash siren like you said, the other one goes to the under hood siren. but add a low amperage inline fuse before the wire enters the engine bay. that way if a thief tries to short the siren wire to the battery (to try and fry the brain) it just pops the fuse and the siren in the dash keeps going off.

Just to add about alarm fuse protection, most all good alarms have 2 fuses already included.. main power to the alarm & the flashing lights

Mine does, so does this mean adding a fuse isnt nesecary?

That is not specifically for the siren.. so you can still add a inline fuse to the main when adding more than 1

Ok, i may just do it, i think i have a inline fuse type thing i can pop off my old alarms harness and use it.

yes u can ground each siren individually...

yup more than 3 sirens i think you have to run a relay

your siren shouldnt even be visible or accessible in the first place if it is then the system is already defeated..

yes if you absolutely must have it... u can snip off a inline holder from another setup say a junkyard.

Thank you. well thanks to the lazy guy at cartoys i have the siren mounted to the damn shock tower and the power and ground wires and ran threw my engine bay, (Driver side to pass,) Looks like ill be relocating somethings.

The reason why i asked is i wasnt sure, i may not even end up puting in a fuse.
I guess ill find a new place to put the siren to...

Sence i have the thread going on any good places to put a hood pin? I was thinking at the front of hood on the cowl... Cartoys didnt install that either, After i paid 80 some odd dollars for a install that i should have just done myself.
