Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I bought a 2N3904 and did this but it still doesn't work. When I connect the 12V source the horn sounds and the voltage across the horn is 5V. Then, when the the signal from the alarm clock is emitted (0-1.5V) I can hear the horn sound change and the voltage across...
A few days ago I saw this article on Instructables.com (http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-The-Worlds-Loudest-Alarmclock/) that shows you how to rig a car horn to a cheap alarm clock. I wanted to do this so I bought everything and got to work.
Parts:
Motorbike Horn (12V 1.5A DC)
Wall power...
