Default Need help with alarm install

First off I want to introduce myself. My name is Chris and I own an F-250, it's not a Honda but the thing is that every single website out there does not seem to have any of the information that I'm looking for and after reading a few posts it seems that a lot of people here might be able to help me out with my alarm problem. So forgive me if I am being at all disrespectful.

I current have an autopage alarm installed, but two nights ago someone tried to break into my truck. I've had a Clifford 70.5x on another car before, but it was not a good experience. The installer left all my doors loose and the alarm would only work when it wanted to. So since the autopaige didn't cut it and doesn't ring unless someone hits my truck, it is time for an upgrade.

My plan of attack is a rather complicated one and it has me worried because I know that an alarm is only as good as the installer. I plan on putting in a 70.7x with perimeter sensors, I want the warning sound to come from the alarms horn, but when it gets triggered I want it to go all out with some train horns. The reason for this is that I want to avoid the thief from ever going into my car in the first place, and well train horns would be more than enough to warn me.

Do you guys know of any installers or better brands out there? Thank you all for your time and responses.

No big deal, use the horn output and program it for full alarming only and either pulsed or constant output, connect to a relay and have the relay supply power or ground to the air horns, or if air horn system is already relay controled it is probably a neg.(-) trigger so you can connect the horn output directly to the air horn relay. . 94
