Bump for help!
I still couldn't find a good spot. Where does the OEM one go?
What about in the side vents?
Oem alarm did not have a option for siren. Just as Spider2k mention just find a place to point siren down to the ground.
it seems too easy to ppl to just cut it before they even temper with the car, and if I leave in the hood looks too aftermarket...
I would put it somewhere behind the dash/stereo and get one that is ear piercing. This way it will be so annoying to anyone inside the car that they won't want to deal with the noise while driving or vandalizing the car.
I believe the new sirens are a bit smaller than the one we use to use in the 90s (wow..i'm old). You can fit the new ones behind the front fender lining behind the AC condenser cooling fan. You can also mount it the way the factory horn was mounted; on the front bumper beam.
Both of these locations may get water soaked so make sure they are self draining units (or drill a small hole on the inner cone). Goes w/o saying.. point them down towards the ground.

^^ They use to have small Piezo style sirens just for these. TOOLTIME will know.
I never understood the value of car alarms.... especially aftermarket ones.
I prefer a comprehensive coverage with a Zero deductable instead of trying to fight off the bad guys.
Just ain't worth it....

if it looks "too aftermarket" then use the oem horns and disable the chirps.
we call the piezos pain generators. the dei pn. is a 513t. just went in the stock room to see if we even had one still lol.

Comprehensive coverage here is a joke on this side of the world, most of the times they wont pay back half of what you have insured.
Where?
Hong Kong
Mine is attached to the front firewall with self tapping screws.
icic... I have already found my a good place for it... but don't know if I want to use self tapping screws again.
Does self tapping screws hurt the body a lot?
