I tried a different adjustable 7-->16volt Vetter motorcycle alarm
buzzer that runs with some minimal 200ma but there was nothing but a click,
despite adjustments, the Gorilla Piezo Circuit didn't fizz on it.....
I re-installed the alarm with the external terminals where the
original Gorilla Piezo Box/Siren were nipped/re-routed, and after figuring
out with the led codes, if the alarm was engaged or not, I tried to take a
DCV reading across when the external terminals and I couldn't get any
readings at all for volts or ma, so I tried the ACV and got all sorts of
erratic readings which I sometimes multiply by 2x for a DCV evaluation when
readings are too low.
The DVM Voltmeter was working properly, and I was getting shocks
when the Alarm was activated or not, so I can't figure out the Gorilla
Piezo's Diaphragm transducer<-->oscillator interaction that causes the lack
of a DCV reading....
So in effect I'm not sure what rating of Piezo to get to replace the
original gorilla box/case siren....
1) I need the DCV and DCA rating of a compatible (replacement) siren
or
2) I need the HERTZ rating of the (replacement) siren
Would this be in the right country....I mean, would it work?

I got a temporary hi squeal 80Db 1" Piezo that works for $5 and
installed it outside the scooter, rather than partially obstructed insides..
There are tons of alarms out there, even Talking Alarms with
Proximity sensors and the works like a good remote pager, all going for
anywhere from $36 to a (like the LM 508 and clones.....) or a simpler
Scorpio/G-Force $700....
The most useless thing I think is a remote starter systems, and the
flashing lights can bleed the battery pretty good.......as if the proximity
isn't.....
Then there's the who want's to cut into harnesses to get a desired
effect that might cripple your ECU/ECM......it's a bit scary unless you take
a deep breath and study the combination your getting into.....
