Default Need suggestions on where to put the alarm brain...

I'm currently mapping out my whole alarm system throughout my cars chassis and already have the battery backup and sensors (glass and tilt) in the rear panels. One siren (I guess you can call it the main one) is located on the passenger side in the engine bay and the other is located in the rear panels as well. Is there a possibility I can add one more battery backup and one more piezo siren? (three sirens total) Where are some good mounting points for the alarm brain so that the wires can reach the other sensors, battery backup, siren wires, etc? (I'm trying to think of anything BUT the dashboard... the center console is too obvious... maybe behind the rear seats? drill a hole in the chassis?).

The problem is that under the dash, there is an opening and you can see wires running through there (you can see it from a side view as well).

under one of the front seats and run your wires under the carpet. You can fashion a bracket to hold down your alarm brain to the floor and screw the bracket down. you would have to take your seat out for the install, but once installed and the seat is back in good luck on a thief getting at it.

And in the spare tire well of that accord i think there is a big rubber grommet that you can pop out and mount a siren from inside facing down out that hole that will scream like no other.

If you do under the seat try to cover the alarm with dynamatt or some sound deadning material. It help out alot. And also do not run the alarm wires down the driver kick panel to the alarm. If it looks fishy there going to cut it. The reason I say the sound deadning material is because of the alarm relay ticking to flash the parking light is easily heard. With the mat on the floor board and two peices of it sandwiching it, it really hard to hear. No need for the theif to hear it and make a dash for it. I did this a week ago and like the results of it.

Actually, I was thinking of running the wires under the carpet, so its going to be on the cars chassis.

I wouldn't post any ideas up on the forums, as theives are on here.

I have a pretty nice setup, 2 break-ins but no theft, they can't find the brain. PM me for details.
