Broken alarm horn

ok so the horn on my alarm broke and not sure if i can easily fix it since the wires broke off at the base of the horn and theres not much to retap on to..

any bright ideas on how to fix something like this or maybe anyone know where n how much to get a new horn?

cut the plastic cover around the wires with an x-acto knife and solder new wires on.

If you're handy with electronics and can solder (and desolder), it's usually possible to open those sirens up and pull out the circuit board, and solder new wires on. There should be screws inside the horn. But since a new one is fairly cheap it may not be worth the bother.
