Most alarms can handle up to 3 sirens without adding a relay. You just wire them in parallel to the alarms siren output wire.
Do a search for 'extra sirens'. There are a few posts about the same thing.

If using a relay make sure it cant get wet. I learned the hard way. Everytime it rains the sirens went off. The funny thing is the relay was under the hood of my truck on the fire wall..

If installing more than 3 sirens, I would recommend using a relay.

From the existing alarm siren.
Also what kinda sirens would u recommend?
I use 2 30w home security sirens in the engine. They are beige and can be found at www.partsexpress.com and Radio Shack. You might have to cut half of the plastic flare with a hacksaw to install. In the interior, I use a 130dB 6 multi-tone car alarm siren and a piezo siren (just like the DEI 513T that you linked). Also, a Strobe on the inside. When the alarm goes into full trigger, the alarm gets much attention!!Saved all my gear once in 94 in a foiled burg attempt on a rainy night.
