Okay guys, for my custom Schwinn Meridian trike I'm piecing together and electrical system. Honestly I'd like to go with a simple 3V system since most of it (which consists of LED lights) will run straight off of that without having to use resistors or diodes to bring the power down. On top of that it can be powered by a couple of AA batteries in a battery holder.
I was thinking about doing 6V though, so I could power USB chargers off of it but that's not really a big deal if the 3V system makes it much easier to work with.
Here's my only issue...I cannot seem to find a horn that runs on 3v-6v. I tried using the horn out of my Toyota Yaris with an 8-AA battery holder (so 12v) but I guess it didn't have enough current flow and wouldn't activate it, so unless I go full-on ATV battery for the trike (which I don't want to do because of expense, weight and space) then I can't use a car horn.
I've thought about using Radio Shack piezo buzzers but they don't seem to be very loud.
Is there ANYTHING out there that will make a nice loud horn sound running on 3-6v? Thanks.
