unique316 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 hey, thats a audiovox alarm. Remeber its not always about the name its about the functionality of the product. Yea, there is a point when some stuff is just cheap crap but for the most part focus on the reasons you are using it and make sure those needs are met. but opinion wise im not a huge fan of audiovox products duge to they generally are pretty limited but it really depends on what you are trying to spend. I know you can get a auto page for around the same price range retail wise and they aren't to bad on install labor. I beleive the RS-1000 is around 200 bucks retail so ebay or online a lot cheaper and thats their top gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unique316 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Well like I said audiovox is generally on the cheap side and the few times i have used it it always came back but i found this alarm made by code which is your basic remote start and 3 channel alarm and they are going for around a 100 bucks new onr cheaper used on amazon or ebay - Auto Page C3-RS-665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phive Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 The APS997 is an alright alarm. It isn't as robust as a Viper 5901, but its an alarm that'll work if it's installed right. I have only seen 1 come back in this year during the remote start season. It was a bad brain. It's not the brain, but the install that will determine how it will perform. Front Stage: Kicker QS 65.2 Components, MB Quart Reference 5.25 in the a pillars, Midbass: Kicker CVT8's in the rear doors, Headunit: Pioneer DEHP880PRS - Running Active Amps: US AMPS XT1600.4/XT800.4 No beat yet. Twitter Soon as remote start season ends, I'll be able to work on my car some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shyne151 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 The prestige alarms are decent... We carry them at work, dont' really have alot of problems with them. Over the years I have noticed they are starting to skimp more and more on quality though. This years remote starts came with I believe 20amp fuses and like 14gauge wire... which is wayyy to small for some of the older vehicles... works fine with newer low current ignition systems... but we were having hella problems with older grand ams and malibus. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.

CLiP8907 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 i agree with the others.. i've had mines since Oct of last year.. and its ok.. bottom line, it gets the job done. i kinda wish the paging distance was a little bit stonger but like i said, it gets the job done. no real big complaints on my end.. :Satan Sings a Lulliby In My Ears Every Nite:- Lord Infamous Pioneer Premier DEH-P500UB w/ ipod touch Planet Audio BB215 Kicker zx1500.1 2 Jensen Audio 6.5s 2 Horns "in place for my 6x9. my port blows all my 6x9s out of place" 2 pyramid tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
