Of course, I have seen some very scary fire hazards come fromt those big chain guys

Just spoke to Best Buy and the 1st thing he tells me is "oh yeah, it is proabably your alternator..." He sais that when you put any new electronic equip in your car it has a profound effect on the alt. Yeah maybe if I put a $3000 system with 15 amps yes... I puy in a cheap JVC that was almost the same as the one I replaced...try again...

and I said that's funny my car ran all these years with the same alt but then you put in an alarm and every time I arm it...the batt dies... yeah...must be the alternator...

I know it still could have something to do with the alt. but I have a hunch it has something to do with the miswiring of the alarm...

I am dropping it off today...provided I can get the damn car down there with the ever-deady battery and all...
