considering an alarm

[MANTI5 10+ year member]

I have an 08 Civic LX sedan and will be installing a system soon. It has the stock alarm but I'm looking for something a bit better, basically something that will hurt the hell out of someone's ears if they try to get in. Any recommendations for a simple(don't care about remote start, trunk pop, or really anything other than lock-unlock doors) system for under $200? The less the better without sacrificing quality.

for $200 are you planing on installing it yourself ?

Not sure, why?

Because installing an alarm properly is a pain in the azz and you have to know what you're doing or you can mess up your car's electrical system. A shop will charge you anywhere from $180 to 400 for labor alone depending on what car you have and what features you want.
