TD-1536 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Ok, I searched a lot of places and everyone has a something different. What you guys think works best? Ben I think the only way to go is to install the little train speakers in your aerators, run them to a small radioshack amp and mount a headset inside your helmet with all wires concelled. A very effiecent, elegant - yet effective way to have your voice project from the helmet in true movie fashion. You could add a static box, too, but the effect is so subtle I don't think it's worth $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-0013 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 How about a parts list with links to get all those parts, eh? My sound gear crapped out on me a while ago, and I want to redo it all before C3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sound gear crapped out on me a while ago, and I want to redo it all before C3! Sure, use this source as a place to start. http://www.gothos.com/tk5248/mod1.html I'd never used a soldering iron before I tried this, so it took me about four/five hours to get it right. But, in the end it's well worth it. Two things to note: in the above tutorial, they use the coveted Radioshack amp that's no longer available. Instead, use the inexpensive $12.99 one as shown here. And wire up a microphone inside your helmet like this... [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abntroop Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 theres a small radio shack amp (the white one) get it, gut it, hook it to a smaller speaker, mount it behind your chin piece (check out tutorial @ http://www.cloudcitysquad.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD257 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I went with a ROM FX board for the static burst, and it really works well. It comes from someone in the UK Garrison...I lost the contact name when my computer wigged a while back and I had to do a total system re-install. I also use the aerator mounted speakers, but I had to make a cord to plug into the amp board's 1/8" phono plug speaker jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-0013 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Thanks for the tips, guys! I'm going to try and do these mods before C3 for certain, now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
