How are the air horns wired and what triggers them? Youll most likely just need a relay which is <$10 anywhere.

Assuming our horm wire is negative trigger since most maximas are, and that your air horns are negative trigger also, than yes youd connect the output from the alarm brain to the air horn wire at the steering column, or connect it to the horn wire itself if you want all 3 horns to go off.
