you could use what ever siren that you want and any number of sirens. If you go more then three you are going to need a relay. If you are going to use your horn and its a dei unit you are going to also need anothor relay because the horn signal is negative. Some alarms have a negative horn honk output so you won't need a extra relay for that. What kind of alarm do you have? Just make sure that the siren you use is not a speaker type unit.

As has been mentioned Yes you can drive your car horn(s) with the alarms siren output, but a relay is needed, [a horn needs more current then a siren] you would also have to add a "flasher" as siren outputs are a "steady" output, meaning the horn(s) would just come on steady,"HOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNK"
and drain the car batt. pretty quick.
If you want to use the cars horn check and see if your alarm has a horn output. 94
