Well like probably many of you, the alarm on my b5 sounds totally pathetic. I've done the searching and instead of getting an aftermarket system (broke college student) I could probably change the siren itself to one with a higher db output. The question is where to find one. The only one I saw was this and the website looked kinda sketchy.

I just want my alarm to be loud enough to actually wake me up at night, kinda like my neighbor's which keeps going off at four in the f*@%!^g morning, nobody wants to steal that piece of s*#t van! Sorry just venting.

I think if you just replace the siren, you should get a better response.

Something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/12V-6-TONE-CAR-A...QQcmdZViewItem

I don't know about that ebay one nor endorse it, but just as an example I googled "loud car alarm siren".

 

That should do the trick, thanks.
