Default best car alarm?

I've searched, and haven't found much information.

I've read some horror storys, about people simply cutting the wire connected to the horn, via front left wheel well I believe.

I simpley want the top of the line Car Alarm, I mean within reason now, but deff I want this car protected like Fort Knockers.

Any/all input is greatly appericated, thanks!

Viper.

Make sure you get the trunk pinned, the hood pinned and all doors pinned.

Make sure you get either a back up bettery or a back up battery siren.

The Ravelco seems amazing for being unable to steel a car, but it doesn't work against protecting your cars stereo system against filth, I mean thieves. It's just an immobiler. If that's what you're after and aren't planning on getting a huge sound system, then I say for for it. 3 mil+ can't be wrong.

Damn I need to invest in an alarm soon too, maybe I'll use part of my taxes for that, there won't be anything worth stealing in there until then anyway...


Sorta off topic.. I went to this huge Liquidation sale a couple weekends ago. They had discounted clothes, electronics, cologne, computer stuff, basically everything you could ever need.. Anyway, I was standing at the Auto Elec. booth looking at CD Players, and I saw this guy casually stoll up, point at a $30 alarm system, and buy it. All I could think was, "what the hell, why even buy one if you're going to cheap way the hell out on the purchase." Blah, just didnt make sense to me...

That revelco thing is BS. Put that in your civic, I will bet you my car that I can have your car started without braking anything in less then 3 minutes. You want me to brake stuff, less then a minute and I will be driving away. If you are thinking of some type of imobilizer get a custom one made to where you have to hold the brights on while you crank or a hidden toggle that trips a relay aon the fuel pump.

Im not saying cars cant be stolen with an alarm or some type of antitheft system. An alarm is a deturrant, its job is to make it harder and take longer to get into and steal. If it makes noise before the theif gets it shut off then it did its job.

Remeber though, dont have some shmuck install it. The best alarm in the world is worthless if a blind guy installs it.
