    Is it a siren or a loudspeaker? There are two different types.

    The siren has the electronics in the speaker housing and just needs 12v to sound off. The other is just a speaker and the electronics to drive it are in the alarm control unit itself.

    No idea. It's just a horn looking thing with two wires (red and black) going to it.

    Well... take it inside the house, apply 12 volts to it (be sure to observe correct polarity). If your wife hits you with a skillet, it's a siren. If it sounds like strangling a duck, it's a loudspeaker.

    I have two of them that you can have for free if you pick up in Grapevine or otherwise arrange to get
