Default 76 corvette wiring question

I was changing the horn relay and saw small silver box that looked something like a small speaker. It has a few diff colored wires going into it. It also had a red wire coming from it that split after coming from the box with a bright green colored plug on each split. Nether of them are hooked up. Does anyone have any idea what these wires hook into?

...or an aftermarket security system that was wired into the power side of that relay.

Sounds like you are describing the headlamp warning buzzer. Is there a tan wire and a red wire leading out of this box? If so, the tan wire plug connector goes into the cavity marked "IGN" which is located just about in the middle of the fuse panel. The red wire plug connector goes into the cavity "LPS" Hope this adds any help to your question.
