What do you recommend.

Thiking about el-1000E any other suggestions for the price ($150 or less).

I've looked at compustar but the lowest I've seen was $220.

I need dual stage shock sensor (pretty standard), I'll add microwave motion sens, remote start

Want 2 aux output (how can I control say 5 items like windows roll up, remote start)

I want 2 sirens + mini piezo "ear bleeders" inside (is this a good idea, how do I wire multiple sirens and piezo)

I'm open for suggestions so tell me what other options are up there.

good alarm at a good price look into the k-9 classic(4 button remotes)by omega research. maybe about 65 bucks. i bought mine locally for 54 bucks, just depends where you live i guess. for the sirens use a relay and wire them to the same output.

Manual trans or NOT....? If so get the compustar, save your cash and get it...it'll be worth it!

Manual. How about autopage commando or syntek (which one would be best out of the 3).

Can you program compustar without bitwriter (using the remote)?

Look at the autopage RS-855LCD for RS/Alarm

RS-520LCD for just an alarm or the rf-610 if not needing 2 way.

They all have 6 channels of outputs. 2 door lock dedicated, 1 trunk, and 3 aux. All of them except the door locks can be programmed for timed, momentart, and latched which is a really nice feature.

Thans Mike. I was looking at the 855 and the Audiovox 996a.

The LCd720 autopage is nice also bu only 4 chanells so I guess that woul only leave 2 available (well 1 and the trunk).

520 is definnetley nice. the 520 and 720 have the AM transmitter 855 has FM for better range I assume.

Autopage brochure makes it very easy to see what options each one has.

Any idea on a similar cheaper equivalent of DEI 530T window module (pricey). I say some for $17 on ebay.
