Has anyone replaced the weak Alarm horn with an aftermarket Siren/Horn.. Was just curious how hard it was to change and or switch out and rewire.. Have seen several low cost sirens available, but wasnt sure what the issue's would be... Thanks for any info...

    I replaced my alarm horn with an after market one. I used the existing wire connection (took the oem connection off of the oem horn.) It sounds a lot better, not that "bleep, bleep" sound of a dying sheep.

      Butchman, Thanks for the info.. sounds pretty strait forward, did you replace with horn or like a Viper type alarm siren/horn.. Like you said can't wait to get rid of that dying sheep sound... Thanks, Monte

        I bought an alarm horn from a car audio store, $23.00. Now, people will take notice when the does go off. I used the connection off of the oem horn/alarm and soldered it to the new alarm horn. Mounted it back to the firewall.
