Dont buy relays at best buy from their install shop, they charge like $12 per relay. Granted they're bosch's but that's insane. I won't pay more than $1 for a relay. Yeah you can get additional sirens for around $10 a piece. You can get small 2" piezo sirens to put inside the car to annoy and deter any theives, those are like $2 each. However, it might be wise to use the siren wire from the alarm to trigger a relay which in turn powers the multiple sirens via a seperate dedicated circuit so that you don't tax the alarm. I've put in at least 10 alarms, so if you want help let me know. When I put an alarm in my SE-R it's going to be badass. It'll have all the yoys, window and sunroof closure modules, dual zone microwave sensor, 2 stage shock sensor, glass breakage sensor, trunk release, keyless entry. I just have to find a decent alarm to do it with. I bought a Bulldog 7002 Pro, and it's a piece of shit. I'm just not impressed with it at all, so I'm returning it. I'll likely end up with a Valiant or a Commando. I only buy the good off brand alarms, because they all work the same regardless how much they cost, you have to look at what features they have and if you know the build quality then you can't go wrong. I had a $200 viper once that did as much as the $60 valiant in my truck. In fact, I pulled the viper out and put the valiant in to replace it because it wasn't acting right. Turned out it wasn't installed right but I like the valiant better. About the boot, I won't be carrying shift boots, but who knows down the road.
