alrighty, the factory alarm siren has been taken out and replaced! the new one that i put in sounds great and is actually loud enough that it hurts my ears to stand next to the car with the alarm going off. the replacement was extremely straight forward, i just needed to figure out what i was looking for. i also changed the location of the siren because i noticed that even with the very loud new one in the same spot in the trunk, it was still muffled sounding from outside the car. not nearly as quiet as stock, but still not loud enough for my taste. what i did was to relocate the siren to inside the rear bumper, running spade connectors from the original alarm harness connector to wires that fed through the tail light hole on the drivers side and down into the bumper, pretty much just beside the driver side muffler. it works great so far, and i'm extremely excited that i can actually hear the alarm going off now. oh, and i ended up using one of those mini-pizo sirens, you can pick them up pretty much anywhere.

Anyone know if it is possible to get one that "chirps"? Like the sound a lot of aftermarket alarms? I love that sound! 
the one that i put in is one that does that. it sounds great and it fits the car much more because such an expensive car should have an expensive sounding alarm. i'll post a video later today in this thread of how it sounds now.

alright everyone, here's that quick video that i promised you. now you can see and hear what it sounds like in action!
Right click and Save As...:http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/28/1025953/A6_Siren.wmv
and here's a hopefully helpful picture. sorry for the poor quality, stupid camera phones! this is more or less what it'll look like when you've got it all ripped apart.

interesting, it seems to work perfectly fine for me. if other people have problems with it too i'll try hosting it somewhere else. it's also a 26 meg file, and the domain i have it hosted on isn't all that quick, so it's probably not going to stream worth a crap if you don't save it to your computer.
