Clifford siren

My old Clifford Ace 7500 crapped out on me, so I had it taken care of through the warranty and they sent me a brand new Solaris 5.  Unfortunately there was no siren included like there should have been.  I have the shop I took it to finding out what happened through Clifford, so I ran the siren wires for it.  I have my old siren still and attempted to use it until I get the new siren. 

Here's the problem.  The old siren has two wires, a red wire that goes to the battery and a black wire that goes to the alarm.  The new sired has two brown wires that go to it (my guess it is AC as there is no polarity suggested).  Well I tried hooking up the old siren to the horn output.  But unfortunately that didn't work.  So I was wondering if anyone had another idea to power the old siren till I get the new one.  Thanks!

Ok, I decided to try running the horn honk output through a relay (don't know why I didn't think about it before).  Unfortunately that didn't work.  So I decided to meter what kind of output the alarm puts out.  It turns out to be a low voltage positive pulsed signal.  The siren needs a constant ground, so I guess the horn output won't work.  Anybody have any more ideas?
