Hey, i purchased this alarm a little while back and just realizing now that it isn't very loud, when it chirps or when the siren goes off. Any way to turn up the volume ?

well you cant turn up the siren volume. but when you chirp it there is a loop on the siren you can cut that will make it louder. if you want louder siren, you can either get a second siren and wire it in parallel, or just buy a whole new siren. the loudest ones are the motor driven types. you can find alot on ebay. i got a 99 bmw oem siren thats sounds neat. pretty much any DC 12v siren will work.

so would it just be cut the old wires from the stock siren and solder the new wires from the new siren to the old ones?

here is one that im looking at, its kinda big tho lol and has a funny siren http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/12-Vo...QQcmdZViewItem

lol i saw that, i was almost getting one of the burgler alarms that stores use haha but then i saw the bmw and couldnt pass it up. sounds sweet and very different than anything else. but yea you just cut the old wire to siren (power-one wire) and connect to new siren. each siren has its own ground that you just attach to a chassis point. that motor driven one is gonna be ear busting loud

so if i go out and buy a DC 12v horn and attatch the old wires from viper horn to it, it will be alot louder?? and where is this other wire to make the chirp louder?? Thanks replying GearBox

only attach the power wire from the old siren to the new one and ground the wire that came with the horn to a place in the engine bay.

and i can buy this horn from any hard ware store?

exactly. and the siren determines the loudness. motor driven is louder. now with viper sirens (dei) there is a small wire loop coming out the siren. if you cut it, it makes the chirp louder, NOT the siren tones. check ebay for sirens, they have a ton.

alright so when i open my hood, look at the horn and there should be a loop wire coming out of it?, im pretty sure there are just 2 wires,, red and black ., Sorry if im super noob, and thanks again for such quick reply's guys.

You could also wire up that alarm to your horn, so that it would have the siren and your horn honking, which would be loud and annoying to whoever is breaking into your car. They also have small "ear piercing" sirens that you can put inside your cabin to make it extra obnoxious.

The most you would have to do to hook up the horn to honk along with the siren is wire up a relay...

my stock alarm was like that ,holy **** that was annoying but i want something different where people will look instead of ingnoring it.....hopefully

what about this one? i dont see how this one is really different than the one that came with my viper tho http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-TON...QQcmdZViewItem

well i just wanna make the chirps louder honestly... i've seen peeps with the same alarm much louder.... and wondering how i should go about it.And i have no wiring experience

That one seems like it has the same generic 6 tones as every other alarm out there, so your goal of getting people to pay attention to it may be defused...

If you really want to draw attention...Air Horns is the way to go
