Internet auto electrical diagnosis is virtually impossible.

Isn't the logical thing to try reversing everything you did?

agreed!

The alarm is probably powered from your stereo in some way, or perhaps they share the same Earth or could be many things. Revert everything you did, retrace your steps.

And if that's the case you're alarm is poorly installed

Sounds like a hack job installation to begin with. As other suggest, with electronics, if something stops working, step backwards and undo what could affect it. That isn't to say you need to reconnect your speakers, but I'd definitely be looking at removed fuses, removed taps into ignition/acc and removed ground.

to say the least. Even if the alarm is spliced into the stereo wiring, it should still work with the alarm unplugged.

Sounds like a really odd problem, But I would plug the stereo back in (assuming you still have it) just to confirm the alarm works when the stereo is in. Then start at your radio wiring and work back

You didnt cut the wires for the stereo plug and bridge an active to an earth? This should have blown a fuse, which might explain the problem. But as said, put the stereo back in first, that will at least rule out a fuse etc
