ok guys the alarm is in but................................

i got the alarm in an its looking the doors an everything but i have a problem.
my siren isn't loud enough for me to even hear in the house throw the front door. hell can barely hear it inside the car. i thought maybe it was the ground but its not that or maybe i got a bad siren. the chirps are not even loud enough.
i am totally stooped an cold an tired will get back at it later. f

any info on this would be helpful too.

sum sirens arent that loud

DID YA AIM IN DOWN .. IT LOUDER FACING DOWN.. WHAT ALARM YA GET

That is what I would like to know as well which alarm did you get?

i found the problem this is the alarm dave installed

Cant you buy a siren seperate? Mount a 12 inch sub under the hood at 3k youll hear that lol.

Supa, get yourself arelay and wire up the cars horn to the alarm.

thanks guys its a scytec astra 777 i found the problem i was told it was my ground on my alarm so i am gonna ground it to the car battery neg post an that should fix it. it will be taken car of today the only thing i gotta do now its program my 2 way transmitter an i am good to go.

x2 on the horn. I have a siren and the horn on my car its loud as fawk, you can add more sirens too.

You shouldn't have to ground it to the battery, sounds like a problem elsewhere...it could still be the ground but it might just not be a good one.

HOPE YA GOT A GOOD DEAL DAVE WE SALE SCYTEK AND I WOULD HAVE HOOKED YA UP CHEAP. SO IS IT WORKIN OK NOW OR WHAT

I know on the dei's you have to cut a wire on the siren to make the arm/disarm chirp louder and one to make it one tone instead of six.

well rowland i only paid like 75 bucks for it online.
i tried to hook the alarm up to my battery with the ground to batt an pos to the battery just to see if it would get louder an it wasn't. so i am stumped on what to do now. it still locks the doors an it chirps but its not loud enough an when it goes off it still not loud.

I have some dei sirens layin around if you want to try one. If you want to bring your car up sometime I can help you hook it up to the horn.

call Tips in pearl and get Ray to put you in touch with Mike Flannagan ... he is real good with alarm systems ... i'm sure he can help ... the number is on the Linear Power link under my name ... hope this helps ... tell Ray that Randal sent you ...

first alarm has a soft chirp mode that you may be in , second connect brown wire with white trace to your horn wire in steering column.
you also can adjust the siren duration .you may have gotten a good deal but where is your customer support , so next time pm some of your fellow usaic members as we can pre-program the unit before we ship it , that is only if we are not steping on someone elses toes.

NICE...........

hey taz i didn't know that you an rowland did scytek i know i should have asked an now i feel stupid not even asking but you live an learn lol.
i got canaan white helping me out over phone alot he has been a lot of help.

i have a suggestion that would thwart any thief. i bought a cheap 30 dollar keyless entry. hooked it up in my bedroom with a 12v power supply. i screwed a remote next to it for control in the house. I took the second remote apart and soldered onto the 2 contacts for the panic button. then i installed the second remote in my truck with a relay on the siren wire. now, exactly 1 second after my truck goes off (no parking lights or siren) the siren in my room goes off. now granted if it falses, then you get a butnaked whiteboy doin a super flyin spinnin backflip over the bedrail to see outside, but it helps me sleep at night.

damn son that is some alarm there i like that idea lol

i don't claim it on the forums, but i am the alarm doctor (there, i claimed it). ill write binary code with relays. the difference between me and the next guy is ill also make a relay pack that can read binary. when im done with your car, the only way a thief will get it is with a tow truck.
