Adding on to existing system

I have an Excalibur alarm system that was installed earlier this year.

If I decided to install additional sirens, pain generators, etc. etc. would I need something along the lines of a relay to trigger them? (kinda like the concept of triggering multiple amps off of one remote wire).

i dont know if you could or not but you could always do what i did and that was hook up a 12volt source to your hood ornament to where if some one tries to steal it they get a nice little jolt .you might be able to rig up some thing to the handles to im not sure

ya you can use an existing trigger on the alarm and wire a relay to activate the other things u want.

Ok thanks. My main concern is avoiding taking it back to the shop that I had it installed at... shady, two-timing, incompetent crooks that left wires exposed, half-assed everything, and overcharged me.
