Sound generator chip question

If I hardwire a board with a sound generator chip, do I have to make multiple sound speakers(like a klaxon horn here and a passive subwoofer here) to get the different sounds, or is the chip capable of ouputting the different sounds? The chip data says it can produce different sounds, and it has 8 outputs. So do I hardwire all the outputs to one speaker system? Or do I need to supply the sound circuits individually?

I want to build a failsafe kit for a motorcycle startup sequence that will identify the individual systems(good or bad) with different sounds, as a testing bed for electric starting system components.

The Chip is a GI SOUND ay-3-891it says 3 independently programmed analog outputs. Interface to most 8 and 16 bit processors.

The three outputs are independent, so if you need only one channel and basic sounds, then the other two can be ignored. Note that this is a fairly difficult chip to program and control.
