Need help choosing alarm

Hey everyone i am looking into getting an alarm and remote start for my 02.
I will more than likely purchase from KCautosound.com and install it myself. My questions are this: What sensors do i need? What brand to go with? I currently dont live in the best of areas and have had a stereo stolen from my previous vehicle. So obviously i want my stereo and equipment protected. I know i want a 2 way system for sure. So any suggestions???

Sorry for the double post. Put first one I. Wrong section

Have you ever installed an alarm before or had experience doing wiring like alarms require?

I just got Clifford alarm to replace my Code Alarm and I really like it so far, but I haven't had time to test it out to much. I would go anything DEI produced if I were you.

Why? If you were directed, would you want to be warranting a bunch of hacked up alarms that work just fine, except they were installed by a some dumb kid and his "homie who has installed systems before"? Its a good business choice on their part.

Compustar 2W900FM-AS 2-Way 900MHz Alarm with up to 3000ft range

The range is pretty awesome and it has all the features you could ever want.

Travis can hook you up with whatever sensors you want I added a glass break and a sensor for my Tool box.

My two cents.
