Replacing alarm horn with supertones
I have been looking around on multiple forums and google but have not had any success finding an answer.
I want to replace the siren on my car alarm (DEI / Python PF5000) with the set of Hella Supertones I have installed. Does anyone done this / know how to do this? If so please explain how to go about doing this. I am wondering if it is as sinple as rewiring the wires from the alarm siren \ horn and wiring them up to the hellas (power & ground) any help would be greatly appreciated.

hook the horn output on the alarm up to the car, call it a day, then you get both..
Should be able to set the horns onto a "full attack" mode, so just the alarm siren chirps and not the Hellas.. |

Great. so disconnect siren power (red) and connect to hella power (red) and I guess that ground (black) can stay as is. I was hoping it was that simple but I didn't want to F up my alarm. Hopefully I will get this done on Thurs.
Thanks |

Yeah, car alarms are too common these days. barely anyone looks if you hear one going off. I want everyone looking at my car if it goes off.
Only thing is I have heard that you might need a relay but I figure if I tap into the Hella relay, that should take care of it. |

No need for a relay unless you want to do anything special. I put a 5 wire relay on my siren to a button thats used as the valet switch on the old DEI alarms so that I can make my siren chirp from the inside of my car. Why you ask? so I can piss off my neighbors ankle biter when I get home every day.

depending on the alarm model, you can run both horns and siren and yes you do need a relay for the horn.
