I'm trying to get a guage on what seems to be the most used alarm.

Viper/Clifford i know are good ones.

But i'd like to know specific models and why you chose them.....

 

i got the viper 791x. I like the alarm. A shop here is installs them with alarm for just about 500. Plus any upgrades you may want.

 

i got my Compustar 2WSSR alarm installed for $500. this includes a backup battery, installation of proximity sensor (brought in a dei sensor), hood and trunk pins.

overall i'm really happy with it. the range is unbelievable, for example i can be in class and still have signal to my car. the range is rated at up to 1.25 miles.

definitely take at look at this product

 

I'm definitely interested in the compustar it sounds awesome over a mile signal is definitely appealing to me.

 

yea i got the viper 791x paid
350 with install for it..( i knew the guy so yea got it a little cheaper)

 

Clifford matrix 2-way pager, up to 1/4 mile range. $380 installed

 

I've got the OEM alarm.. any idea how good it is? No idea if it has a shock sensor, or glass break sensor.

 

If you have a 2-way page alarm installed, the best way to extend the paging range is to attach the antenna as high and as visible as possible.

My antenna initially had the antenna under the dash (like most other cars), so the paging range wasn't that far as compared to 1/4 mile claimed by Clifford. Then I relocated the antenna on dash, the range has improved significantly. Lastly, I moved the alarm receiver antenna to the windshield right behind my rear view mirror. Now, I can truly appreciate 1/4 mile remote/paging range claimed by manufacturer.
