Default another alarm install

so i am going to be putting another alarm in my car. My last one, was just a cheap and easy install. Now that i have installed more alarms in cars, i figured it was time to re-do mine.

I am looking for a few suggestions:

first, where did you guys mount you blinking alarm light? I was thinking in the factory location, but i dont see how to get that damn thing out? Any help, or other recomondations?

2, where did you put your alarm brains? I want it out of the way, so it can not be easily unplugged. How about under the pass airbag? or perhaps behind the guage cluster?

3, did you guys use 2 relays for the locks, or did you use the DEI 451m that comes with the 791?

That is it for now........i think

on my truck the brain of the alarm is mounted behind the kick panel on the driver side. It fit perfect too.

ok well pull the top off the dash and put it in there. There should be enough room up there... running the wires might be a little tough but it could be done

In my old car, I put the brain in the drivers side door panel.
