Okay, i'm going to try my first alarm install. I'm putting in a Clifford MAtrix 3.5 into a 1990 Nissan Hardbody. Also, i'm putting in some Spal power locks at the same time. HEre's my question since i already know it takes a lot of time and patience...am i going to need to buy ANY additional relays or anything of that nature, or will the equipment i'm installing be straightfoward?? Let me know, thanks!!!

doesn't hurt to have some relays in the tool box even if you don't need them this time

yeah, but i'd figure that such a high end alarm would have all necessary equipment. Does it?

Being high-end could also be an excuse to add options out the wazoo...think of a mercedes with tons of options.

You should have a DEI 451M micro-relay pack with the RSX 3.5. This should do the job for you. However, for your custom acutators, you must add door lock/unlock relays on their own for door switches..

so basically all i should need is the 451M and then 2 relays for the door locks?

That is correct. Wire up your actuators first with the relays and door switches in place so you have the basic functionality of power door locks. Then install your alarm with the DEI 451M relay pack.
