help on installing 2 sirens

[Aaron]

Well, im sure the brain will accept it. Its top of the line, so i wouldnt see why not.

Aaron:

how would you wire it for that? one to chirp, and the rest go off? thats all i needed.

The alarms/sirens I got are audivox... only ones I found online. I'll just bundle a siren and a relay together and sell them since thats how they will prolly be used.

well i have an audiovox alarm as well and it has seperate outputs for horn than it does the siren and im pretty sure there is a way to make it so that when you arm it only the siren chirps and not the alarm...if i am right in this then you could wire the relays for all the sirens but one to the horn output so they would only go off when the alarm was sounding and not just when it was arming...

how much are you asking for for the siren/relay combos?

[aero]

I'll prolly sell the siren/relay for 15 shipped in the lower 48 states. Im hopefully getting the relays this week, and sirens mid-next week.

[aero]

I got the relays.. hopefully will have sirens early next week. The relays have 5 wires.. there is an 87 and an 87a. Anyone know b4 i try to figure it out on the net somewhere?

edit:
To just run an additional siren, this is how you would hook it up.(may be the same as earlier posted.. but I cant see since im in the edit screen)

30- fused 12 volt source
85- tapping into power wire for other siren(or remote lead)
86- ground
87- power wire for new siren
87a- not used.

got it from here: http://www.teamrocs.com/technical/pa...lay_basics.htm

nice!!!!!!!

[HenRoc]

I wonder can you wire up another aftermarket one to work in the vehicles stock wiring harness?

I have a Ford Ranger and the theft deterent system sucks. Even if I bump it it wont go off.

That looks right, but they will both go off at the same time if you don't use a timer. One other trick if you want to hook up your horn to go off as well is that you can attach a regular flasher before the power output from the relay and hook it up to your horn. This way your horn will have a on/off sound when it goes off and it will be one more thing for the thief to disconnect.


Accrdkid: You can have alarms hooked up so that they enable/disable the stock alarm as well. Your stock alarm probably does not have a shock sensor.

Well I had my horn hooked up on my last one.. and it ended up honking when i armed/disarmed.. which i like the alarm chirp better.

Although w/those horns, it was quite a bit louder.

[laz]

With the flasher wired in line with the relay they will not honk when you arm/disarm. The power pulse will be so short that it will not have time to activate the flasher. Also with the flasher the horns will not burn out either when it does go off.

[aero]

ahh.. where would one acquire a flasher? Or anything specific about them

[laz]

This is all you need, it is a 12V flasher and you can find it at any auto parts store



Hope that helps

nice, thanks.. so is there any way to adjust how long between flashes and whatnot?

Im guessing this is kinda the same thing as a wig-wag... or what is used in them.

[laz]

yeah exactly. Well this is all low tech as you can imagine. But I am sure there is a adjustable flasher somewhere. I just have not searched for one.

Ok I just found a preassembled flasher for your horn:

here is another timer delay:

and a cheaper one:

And this little piezo pain generator is probably best for inside since the crook will not support the sound:

Much beter than an internal siren.

Ok, no adjustable flasher, but I have given you all more information than you probably asked for!

lol you dotn need a relay, i have 3 high powerd sirens on my alarm and its co, if u turn it on and it doesnt sound then you need a relay.

so when you arm the alarm, do all 3 sirens chirp? did you simply tap the alarm siren feed for the 2 additional sirens? details please .
