Opfor Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hey Guys, Wanted to share my newest upgrade to my radio box. After much thought on whether to run my voice and sandtrooper loop thru one speaker mounted up front I finally decided the only accurate way would require a second mounted in the radio box. I searched ebay for about an hour before finally finding the one I thought would do the job. Figured it might be easier to shoot a short video versus trying to explain what all it can do plus you can hear how loud it is. If you are interested you can do a search on ebay using Mini Portable Stereo USB Speaker for PC/ iPhone MP3 MP4. 17.55 bid with free shipping or 19.35 Buy it now free shipping (US Only). Store name is bestelectronic-store. I'm loving it so far. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartermaster Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Good luck! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Just bought the speaker system. Let you know when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opfor Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks buddy, you have done a lot already.. Excellent...I doubt you will need it but give me a shout if I can help you with this. About the only thing that took me a minute was trying to figure out how to go about opening the box...it is really put together very nice and tight. The only way to get inside was to take the two panel screws off the back, remove the usb port plate and then you can fit a small screwdriver in the box and pry off the back wall, once that is off you can easily take your time and take the rest apart.

sandtrooper Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks for taking yhe time to post the video, Mike. That's a very cool (and cheap) solution that doesn't even require a separate MP3 player. Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treg Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 That is super cool. I really like the checking in sound bite, seems almost real. By the way could you tell me where you got the sound bite where the TD's are checking in. Thanks! good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opfor Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hey Tommy, Once you are approved into the 501st you will gain access to the sandtrooper loop. The creator of the loop asked that it only be distributed to 501st members so they keep a pretty tight grip on that. Once you in, no problem on showing you how to find it. It actually last for 10-15 minutes and has all kinds of cool radio traffic as well as noises from your cooling pack coming on. Are you working on buidling a TD?

sandtrooper Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is the 501st loop different than the one posted here a few weeks back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opfor Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 One of them is about 4 or 5 minutes longer than the other...believe the one on the 501st is the longer version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtrooper Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Okay, I downloaded the one with the link posted here, but didn't know about the longer one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
