Default Question about Alarm Systems

I am going to install an alarm in my S2000, where is the best place to buy one? What brands do you reccomend and with what options. I have heard from various board members that Clifford is a good bran are there any others. Are there any web sites that sell the alarm systems at a good price?
Thanks,
mfabry

I paid 600 for a Clifford Intelliguard 8000 installed with the Black jax feature. I just got it installed last thursday, but so far so good.

Clifford or Alpine would be your best alarm systems out there ... and having it installed by a private business with a GREAT history would be ideal in my opinion. The alarm is only as good as the installation.

Also, check out this as an additional security method ---> http://www.powerlock.com

I personally have Alpine and Powerlock systems on my car.

Can you order an alarm system over the net?

Hey Psicho, can you tell us more about the powerlock thing? That looks pretty darn cool! Is it a pain to deal with? Do you feel like its worth it?

I'm sure you could, but what are you going to do about installation? what if, you get someone else to install it and it doesn't work properly? can you tell the difference between a defective part and poor installation??
for me, i wouldn't...there are too many "what ifs?" from ordering an alarm system through the net. if your planning on a Clifford alarm, it has to be installed by an authorized dealer for their warranty to be valid!
