are u talking about the old car alarm technology?? older cars alarm uses horn as their siren...

this is not so appropriate bcos it wil shorten the life of the horn itself... and it also drain quite a lot of current from de battery... if ur alarm is making noise for a period of time... ur battery may be dead already...

u can wire the horn to work with the alarm. Just a matter of wiring a relay to the horn and to the car alarm siren...

new cars like camry o accord has horn which connect wit alram..if onli the alrm triggered...which means when u press ur alarm remote there wont be an horn sound..

if u wanna directly wire ur current alram 2 horn...tat means each time u press ur alram remote...there will be siren beep n also horn 'beep'....i think tat sucks...

ya..it will be too loud...and if someone trigger ur alarm, ur battery will be drain by the horn since it drain a lot of power

Malaysian rotary nuts pay respects to the auspicious 7/7, where RX-7s everywhere congregate while they share their wankel experience. It all started in Japan, when RX-7 fanatics decided to gather at the Daikoku Futo car park in Tokyo.

Nothing much has changed apart from the increasing number of faithful attendees at the exact July 7th annually.
