Title: Alarm horn?
Post by: tomoco on 19 June 2008, 15:23:18

The alarm sounder packed up on me last year so i'm just left with the alarm horn. I set the alarm off the other day and its, well not the most impressive of sounds (beep beep beep) its a bit lame to say the least.
Is there a replacement (very loud) horn i could fit/wire up?. The alarm sounder made a much better noise but as its designed to go off when there is a voltage drop(battery disconnection) i cant see the point of replacing it(you would never hear it)

Thanks in advance

Any 12V water proof horn should do the job....

Thanks for the replies, was'nt sure of exact voltage because it pulses rather than a continuous supply. I know when i took the sounder apart it only had 2 x 3.6 volt ni-cads in it(7.2 volts) or was it 2 x twin packs of 3.6 volt ni-cads which would be 14.4 volts

P.S. Marks DTM .i'll be in touch soon about waking up (Tech-2ing) my retro fit cruise( still not sure if i have the clutch switch yet) Fitting the stalk today.

Thanks again peeps

No problem, as a temporary fix whilt sorting a clutch switch (if its not fitted) we can short the wires out to prove it works.
