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?

The manual indicates that both brown wires are speaker 1 & 2 outputs.

Knowledge is power. But only if you apply that knowledge in a positive way, which promotes positive results in others.
