Guest TK-2416 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi guys! Any good ideas/advice on how to mount this correctly - E.g. where do you place the speaker.. do you hide the board in one of the pounches? Please give me some good advices... Sorry if this is already covered in another thread.. in that in case please provide me with a link.. thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD2802 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I didn't like the speaker the kit came with so I swapped it out with a couple of mini speakers. After wiring them up serially I installed one each behind the hovis. Mine are hollowed out. To lessen the risk of feedback, be sure to use plenty of of dense material for dampening. A tip I got from the UKG troopers was to use blue tack (or something similar) around the speaker housing. That's basically a spraypaint can cap cut to fit a speaker in (thanks to TD1536 for that one). You don't need the whole cap, just the center part where the nozzle would go. Once you got the speaker in place, pack in plenty of blue tack behind and around it and mount them behind the hovis. I also used some pipe insulation foam trimmed to fit over each, and to add some extra density to help hold it in place. If everything goes right, you should be able to adjust the Rom's volume, even max it out without any feedback. Mine's pretty loud and people have actually told me to turn it down . Now its at a more tolerable level. For the board you can just place it wherever you want. I've got mine velcroed just above one of the wells in the front for easy access. I'm sure there's other techniques out there this one has worked best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD2802 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Lol. When did that happen? Who told you to turn it down?There was a garrison 'groupie' at one of our events once who trolled our boards and posted all these WIP threads sans pics but full of all these mod techniques that he claimed to have perfected. You guessed it, he said my Rom was a little loud. Didn't pay him any mind since I'd yet to have seen any real evidence of his own modding skills. On a more positive note, when I was first adjusting it for volume, I tested loudness on my wife (who cares nothing for this hobby btw) to get a layperson's opinion - she was the one who decided whether a setting was too loud or not. I actually wanted it cranked but she said a more conversational volume would probably be more acceptable to the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 And, he has all this 100% contained in a TE2 helmet no less. I have to say it's easily the best sound system I've ever heard. They are very pricey, but they can't be beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TK-2416 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I am very happy with my ROM/FX Pro.. But man there are a lot of wires.. Looking forward to see the upgraded wireless version would be nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1549 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Here's my rom-fx , it's all mounted in the helmet so no wires to unplug , it's only the classic rom-fx so less wires , used in conjunction with a pair of Stompers hovis with mini speakers. It's all held in place with velcro so I can swap it between helmets. Not the neatest job in the world, but works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the sound, going off inside your bucket. Do it slam your ears ... or is it all good and comfy . I have got my rom-fx sound system, for a few years now. But i have never used it good, all ways taped down here and there. Mostly the small bad mic, coming up under my neck seal to the mouth velcro to the inside helmet. And the sounds box, batteries etc together in a bag. Taped to my inside chest plate. 1. the small mic is not good. I have been thinking of buying a good head set, but i don´t know where (i have been trying). 2. Add the sound box, batteries etc in your shoulder mp40 pouch. Or under the chest plade, or inside the helmet... Move a long... move a long... Clik...tzzzhh...cli..tzzz.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
