Best alarm for the money???
Re: Best alarm for the money???
in my opinion dei makes the best alarms on the market, viper or clifford, the viper 791xv , and the clifford matrix 3.5 are two great choices
Do you hear me?

I got this advice from an audio expert.. DEI/Clifford are great alarms if distance doesn't matter to you. If it does, then he suggested compustar. They have unbelievable range and their 2-way alarms are great.
I bought myself a Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5 though. Range really wasn't a big deal as I'm never really more than 100 ft from the car. Plus, the Compustar remote wasn't as attractive as the Clifford's carbon fiber look remote!!!

Re: Best alarm for the money???
actually, compustar has several auto alarm models. the 2-way model with the greatest range (about 1 mile) has a "monster" pager remote, which is quite large and bulky. however, the other model is comparable to the dei model with a 2-way remote range of about a quarter mile and the remote is a little bigger than standard alarm remotes. also, it may be difficult for you to find a compustar authorized dealer. and since there are very few around, don't expect to be able to shop around for prices or haggle prices as you would with viper/dei alarms.
i did a lot of research before and i think they are both great alarms.

Actually...Compustar has only 2 pager models....Spread Spectrum has a 1.25 mile range with (1) programable bulky remote also the SS model doesn't come with a turbo timer....the other modell under this one comes with a quarter mile range and has the capability to program more than (1) remote. also it comes with the turbo timer...not only that it comes with a anti-car jacking feature where if you are car jacked you can shut the car off from the remote...that's off course if you use the pager AS a pager and keep it on your waist in its holster.
Either way...compustar would be my first choice and Clifford would have to follow.
