Default F-body Alarms

Need yalls input on what type of aftermarket alarm system you would use for your f-body. I know all alarms are basically the same, just the upgrades and names make the real price difference. I don't really care about the name of the alarm, but i'm looking for something that consists of shock and motion sensor, with the siren, power locks, also i'd like to have the car horn to sound off with the siren. Any suggestions and also any one that can do a "package deal" within a 2hr radius of the N.O. area? I need to have 2 f-bodies done like this. Appreciate yalls input!!!

Your requirements are pretty basic so I'm going to suggest something you may not have considered. DEI makes an alarm "upgrade" for factory alarms or keyless entry systems. It's called the Hornet 727T (formerly 700T). It retains use of the factory keyless entry remotes and adds a dual level shock sensor, starter kill, six-tone siren, lock control, an auxiliary channel, and the option to add other sensors such as a motion detector or glass breakage detector. I installed one a few years ago with the optional perimeter sensor and have been quite satisfied with it. The best part is that the entire kit (with the exception of the siren and external sensors) can be installed by connecting to wires at the BCM - making installation very simple. Oh, and you can get it for around $75.

I have an AstroStart remote start and alarm, it has hood, hatch and door pins along with motion, shock and gyro sensors. I have the older version of this http://www.astroflex.com/index.php?m...&id=61&page=61 .
