From a dealer no not common at all. In my experience most hard wires are because of some sort of theft.

AudioControl DQXS might work and can be found for around $500.

A good installer should be able to knock out a basic alarm in less than an hour to 2 hours depending on the car. Add remote start and the type of bypass needed add another hour. Shade tree mechanic probably all day depending on your knowledge of advanced electrical principle ie resistors, relays and diodes.
I used to install Viper all the time in early 2000's but the shop where I work now uses Code Alarm. Basic alarm can be installed for $150 full on RS Alarm around 300 depending on the car.
Do it yourself and you will save allot of money but you could inherit a ton of problems. now this is obviously biased but I have always felt that an alarm is an advanced install and should be left to the people who do them all the time.

hmm that sucks. well you could pull the case apart and pre drill a couple holes to mount to, as long as your carefull about the clearence and type of screws you use.
Another idea would be to use some abs plastic between the radio and eq to prop it up then wrap electrical tape or duct tape around the whole thing to keep it from moving. but that would not be my first choice of action.
-
After your hole is cut. Get a couple pices of back strap and cut them in half. Using the screws that came with the radio attach 2 straps to each side of the radio with the extra length going up. adjust the eq to where you like it and use the screws that came with the eq to attach the straps where you need them.

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes for my daughter, It is much appreciated. dsmtalonkid from this awesome forum purchased the Term-Lab with the buy it now option on Ebay. My daughter thanks you, my wife thanks you and I thank you.
To all the PM's I received with well wishes and offers to buy. I thank each one of you. I have never attempted to sell anything on line ever and was very hesitant about it due to lots of horror stories but there was no other option. and you people made it a heart warming experience Thank you so much!

His first run with no adjustments was a 135 on the window with the door open @ 44Hz, after tuning it with the DD-1 he did the 137.5 again @ 44Hz. I tried moving the Mic to the seat headrest and we tried with the doors sealed and open the only thing I didn't try was the kick which I wish I would have now.
Really his main issue is power at this point. don't want to put him on front street but his power wire is horribly small and the stock Alt. is crap. The Alt. issue I think will be fixed rather soon I would think
But I was very concerned about his power wire situation to the point I cut the testing a little short because of it.
I will say that he is on the right track and was receptive to the advice I gave and let him know that his next metering was on the house.

Eclipse 8445 - 80/80 distortion free!

100.2 on full, bass boost down, sensitivity down. Sub amp LPF all the way up and everything else down, only use the 40Hz tone.

Dam that car is sexxy!

The radio in-question has an active crossover and 4 sets of RCA's (high,mid,low,sub)the high output is locked at a minimum 1250 it will not go any lower. The manual recomends using the mid RCA if your doing a component set with passive crossover.
-
Seeing as the output from the RCA's would be the same no-matter which output your using (high,mid,low,sub)set the amp using the mid RCA's then plug the highs back in. Seems like your best bet if you hadent figured it out by now lol.
-
I would venture to say the door lock circuit needs a stronger pulse than the bulldog can supply. I recomend 2 SPDT relays wired as such.
-
This could also be an issue with the tach wire. I know allot of installers that use whats called current sensing to tell the RS when the car is started. in the cold and when the car dosent allways start right up current sensing is not the ideal method. Check with the installers to make sure they utilized the actual Tach hook-up for the RS.

I checked before I went into work today and I didn't have it yet either. I did read an article the other day on Engadget that allot of the video providers wouldn't be online and ready till later in the month. and HBOGo not available till next year.

I think just finding a shop or someone in your area with either a DD-1 or an O-scope is a much more realistic idea. I tune all my customers systems with the DD-1 since I got it. I even e-mailed customers from the 6 months prior to come in for a free tunning. I do charge 35 to tune if you have never bought any products or service from me prior.
Good luck with the idea though.
-
So how many left till you hit the 1000 sold mark?
-
Maybe I can convince my boss to buy DD-1's for his other shops now that a respected manufacturer has backed the tool. He refuses to believe that the DD-1 does what it say's even after I sent him numerous YouTube videos and a demo of using it in my vehicle. He still thinks his ear is just as good even after proving him wrong.
to be honest, if your boss doesn't at least use an o-scope, he probably shouldn't be the boss. At least not an "installer" boss.
Maybe he should stick to paperwork So true. Maybe one day when my house is paid for I'll just open my own shop. Then I wont have to listen to people like him anymore.

I know your going to build this system yourself but This is a company that might help you get some Ideas. I was involved in its inception and Paul Yaffe uses there saddle bag lids in a ton of his custom bikes. All of there systems are rated up to 90mph and still audible. Something else to keep in mind is that a motorcycle dosent have an alternator it has a stator and your max amperage is going to be less than 50amps
