any 30/40 amp automotive relay will do.

85 - ground

86 - siren (+) wire from alarm brain

87 - high current 12 source such as battery fued (5 amps or less will be okay)

30 - to both positive wires on siren.

Ted, I thought that the brown pos wire was a 5amp, that's enough to run at least 2 x electronic sirens, there's also I believe a second brown neg wire at 200mamps to run another siren or air horns via a relay.

I want to run the stock siren, the clifford soft-chirp 6-tone or whatever it's called. And REVENGER® SOFT CHIRP 6-TONE MINI-NEO SIREN. Possibly a piezo inside too.

The brown should be OK for 2. what is it with newbies Ted, always want too many sirens and sensors, get a battery backup and forget the rest.

When I park headin into a parking spot, I cant hear the siren as clearly as when I back into it. So I want to put a 2nd siren towards the rear of the vehicle.

Unless the rear siren is exposed or open and thus vulnerable, two sirens won't double your sound output. You would need about SIX to get a 3db (double) increase in sound pressure. Try a police siren, or air horns.
