viper 5701, relay, air horns

got a quick question, i got a hold of some really kool and loud air horns and i was wondering if there was any way to hook them to up my viper 5701 alarm system to where they would work only when i lock, unlock and when alarm goes off pretty much just the alarm? and maybe having a separate switch inside that i can press to work d air horns but just d air horns and nothing else? maybe some sort of relay anybody got any ideas?

Do they operate on 12v? If so, the 12v siren output still might not provide sufficient current to power the sirens, if that's the case you can have it control a relay that switches to a sufficient source. As for the switch, just have it control a 12v source and tie the output in parallel with the 12v siren output.

you want it to blow the air horns every time you lock/unlock? really?

you're gonna lose friends fast. Do they run off compressed air? if so, the tank would have to always have air in it.

Use a relay to power up the horns for sure, I'd find someone who knows what they're doing though.
