If I wanted to install...say 12 sirens (:naughty:) to a viper 5900 how would I do so?
Does the siren just run off a power wire?
Can I just split that wire between sirens?
Will that have any negative effects?
What are the 4 auxilary outputs for?

You would need to wire in a relay to drive the sirens off the brown output wire. I dont know what kinda draw your sirens will have but the relays are generally good for 30-40 amps of draw so you should be safe anyways. The outputs are used as triggers for things like linear actuators, door poppers, lights etc. BTW 12 sirens is overkill and kinda stupid in my opinion, but if you wanna do it then all the more power to ya.
