I bought an extra alarm siren to hook up to my Python 460HP. My question is should i just mount it under my hood like where my other one is or in the back of the car. I was wanting it to go in the back of the car but i don't know of a good spot to mount it to. So please help me or at least give me some ideas.
TIA

 

I have installed a few under the bumper clip, remove clip, carve out some of the Styrofoam, install siren, reinstall clip. 94

 

Get a DEI (Viper) 515R back up siren. Then you won't need to hide it. Plus, even if the wire's been cut, it'll ring for a good 3-5 minutes on it's reserve battery.

Just adding a siren won't do **** if someone breaks in and unplugs the alarm brain out of your car.

 

Install the alarm INSIDE the car. It's insanely loud in a confined cabin and hide it well. REAL WELL.

 

Alright guys i think i found a spot on the back of the bumper area but i was wondering what would be the best way to run it from the back of the car to the brain without going under the car so the wires aren't outside. I didn't really see any good spots to drill or any spots where there are already wire holes so what would be the best way to go about this.
thanks

 

Take the siren and mount it with screws under the trunk on the opposite side as the muffler. Then remove screws, enlarge the holes the screws were in, drop a bolt in each of the holes and mount the siren with the bolts.

On my civic there were some blank grommets behind the bumper cover, I don't remember where exactly. Run the wire into the car there and run it to the alarm. Be sure to fuse this siren seperately from the one under the hood with a 3 amp fuse. That way if someone shorts one of the siren's out the other will still be going off.

Run the wires inside the car. If you take out all of the "carpet" on the side in your trunk area, you will see a large hole with rubber flaps that allows water to evaporate out of your trunk area (should be on the left). You can run the wires through there with no drilling/cutting and everything will still be hidden.

Alright so i know how im going to run the wires and i bought an inline 3 amp fuse but my only question now is do i just splice the siren wire and connect it there or do i some how connect both positive wires to the connecter where it plugs into the brain?
TIA

TIA</TD></TR></TABLE>I would install a relay, using the alarms siren output to control the relay, then wire both sirens to the relay, [driving both sirens directly off the alarm may do damage to the alarm brain] and to be safe you need 3 fuses, one for power for the relay and one for each siren. 94

 

Could you please draw me a diagram of how to hook up the relays and all the other stuff. I am not good with electronics.
thanks

 

I need to know what the polarity is on the siren output, is it a pos. (+) or a neg. (-) output, go here http://www.the12volt.com click on relays under basics, to understand how relays work, also check everything under car security, lots of other good "stuff" there also, then if you have a question feel free to IM me 94

when i click on the link it brings me to yahoo and i also tried typing it in but it brings me to yahoo also so i don't know if it doesn't work or if its just my old *** computer

It is at my house but what am i looking for is it on the box or on the siren.
thanks

There is no wiring diagram but coming from the siren is just the positive and negative wire and the soft chirp loop wire.

im not sure if this is what you are talking about but there is a positive and a negative coming from the brain to the siren and the alarm system that i have a Python 460 HP.
TIA

YW........ Let us know how it works out. 94

Just one more question before i install it. where you said "from the alarms siren output, [brown]" do i just take the wire and unplug it and connect it to the 85 and then get a wire and connect 85 to the spot were the siren output was before?
