    You seek Jim from the Star Garrison. He sells the AKER amp, it is small and fits behind the chestplate nicely. It is very loud and Jim has excellent service. I had mic tip speakers at one time, but like you, i found them to be too low. So i now use this and love it.

     

    You can check it out and order from him here:

    Thanks, looks like he responded below too!

    Or you could go the 1st class route and buy 1 of these:

    300+ members of the UK garrison and ALL of them wearing armour use it.

    That must say something. B)

    I can hook you up with the aker voice amps. The link is the the second posting. Thank you Vorhess for the referral.

     

    I will also help with the Hyperdyne. I have that model and i have made many adjustments. If and when you get your aker amp, we can phone conference and I will walk you through the set-up and the adjustments on the Hyperdyne card itself and the overall system. My Hyperdyne/aker system works really well.

     

    I also have RomFX card that I use with one of my Aker amps. The RomFX is easier to set-up and operate but does not have a PTT option. However, you can get a PTT cable from me that will work with the RomFX and with the romFX static burst. I have many customers that have added an aker amp to their RomFX. If you want to dump the Hyperdyne and get a RomFX let me know. I have squad mate that wants a hyperdyne for the Bobba Fett voice. He would likely buy yours anmd then you could put that money toward a RomFX. I was thinking about selling him my Hyperdyne and buying another RomFX.

     

    Drop me a line and we work something out to get you up to fully operational status! :D

    Hey Jim,

    I just sent you an email!

    Not sure what I can afford to do exactly, but let's see if we can come up with some options.

  3. Need sound help... mabye a chest speaker instead?

    in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters

    Okay, I have the following installed in my helmet for sound:

     

    Hyperdyne Pro Voice Amp

    http://www.hyperdynelabs.com/products_elec_troopVoicePro.php

     

    This connects to... a pre amp? I dont know what it is. It came with my first bucket. It has a big volume nob. I know that.

     

    Which then connects to a set of Stompers Hovis

     

    There is also another switch in there that I believe goes to the mic.

     

     

    I havent figured out how to make my voice sound "trooper-ish" (or I have and it just doent really work)

    I have it set so I use PTT and have the static burst. I found this works best since I couldnt figure out how to adjust it properly otherwise.

    (I also dont like that is has a laser fire sound when you tap the button real quick instead of holding it down, because sometimes I accidentally hit it when trying to talk)

     

    What I'd like is for it to be louder.

     

    Suggestions?

     

    Maybe I just dont have it wired up right.

     

    Or maybe I need to mount a chest speaker or something? I dont know what to do as I am not electronically inclined. Someone else installed this for me and they were only slightly more knowledgeable that I about it.

     

    Where is a good (inexpensive) place to get a chest speaker?

     

    I could really use some help though.

  7. Imperial Commando

    Posted · Edited by HAWK

    These NEED to be 501st approved. Even if only using a regular TK bucket instead of one of those.

     

    Either way, I'd be GLAD to see this as 501st approved armor.

     

    It's more along the lines of what I always envisioned a "sandtrooper" to be is a Stormtrooper Commando.

     

    Not to mention very similar to what I had in mind for my costume.. markings and equipment wise.

  8. Im looking to upgrade my fans. Advice?

    Hey all,

     

    I am looking to upgrade my fans. I've already got a couple fans in there.

     

    I need something powerful though to give me air in my bucket and to help keep my lenses from fogging.

    (it's a heck of a lot different trooping here in Florida than in NY. lol

     

    PICS and TUTORIALS would be fantastic!

    (Or links.)

     

    Thanks all! 8)

     

     

    UPDATE: Thanks guys. I actually had a local trooper help me with the set up. I ended up going with some cpu cooling fans from Comp USA and a Lipo battery pack. Works great. No more air problems for this trooper!

     

    Thanks again for all the helpful info!

  9. Somethings wrong with my Voice electronics

    in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters

    Posted

    Hey guys,

     

    Im having problems with my sound in my helmet. I can hear it faintly comming through the speakers, but even then its distorted.

     

    Well, I got the Hyperdyne Pro Voice Amp.

    A pre-amp.

    And hovis (i think thats what the speakers are called. Bought them from a dude that makes them here and on MEPD.)

     

    I dont know where the problem is. It worked fine last time I tried it. (months ago..Dec, Jan?)

     

    I tried newer batteries. But that didnt make any difference.

     

    I think its either with the pre amp or the speakers.

     

    Any recommendations, advice, etc?

     

    Where can I get a new pre amp? I may just have to get a new one of those and another set of mic hovis.

    Apparently I am gravely mistaken and can take my foot out of my mouth any time now. :wacko:

     

    Nice work on your find, without using your link, I still wasn't able to find a link on their web site.

    Anyway I'm glad you found what you needed.

     

     

    Yeah, for some reason it doesnt appear to be on their website. I had it saved in my favorites. Not sure where I got if from either... but Im thinking maybe it came along with my amp.

  18. MR CE helmet overhaul

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted

    I use a dremel tool with a small sanding drum and begin to widen the hole behind the areators. Do this carefully and a little at a time. You can see inside the screens while you work and tell how much plastic you are removing. Occasionally wiggle the areators to see if they becoming loose. Soon they will snap off leaving a lip where you can reinstall them or use other, more accurate tips (I highly recommend Stompers').

     

    Luis.

     

    Yes, that is what I will be installing... my new two tones I got from Stomper. B)

     

    I just wanted to make sure I do it right. :)

    Need Female Chest Armor for my wife's costume please

    in For Sale - Archive

    Posted

    also unfortunalely the female tk armor doesnt really exist in vast quantities. Liek i said over on the mercs forum, your best best is to try and cut out the patterns yourself. search for Wizard of Flight templates eitehr on mercs boards or TDH.

     

    good luck!

     

    Hi there! Who are you on the mercs forum?

    Anyway... If I cant find someone to make a female chest piece(s), which is what I am hoping for. Do to time constraints, lack of resourses and what-not, I would MUCH rather just buy some from someone, or pay someone to make them.

     

    BUT...if I absolutely cannot... well, Im going to K-mart today (that's all we have here) to see if I can find somethings to make-shift breasts out of. And then maybe attach them to the male mando plates with holes cut out. Or something...I see evilbay has some Jango armor pieces....

     

     

    Here's hoping for someone to have or make them.. lol

  25. MR CE Do you have one? Got pics? What changes?

    Looking around the forum will answer your questions:

     

    -----------

     

    And to see what the MR CE looks like on armor, look through the elite applications. Marvinrobot and TK-2416 both have the MR CE.

     

     

    Thanks man.

     

    I havent looked up the two guys in armor yet, but I did go through those links you posted. Thanks.

     

    To be honest... I dont see the big deal about making the mods. I mean, the part of the helmet where the "grey teeth" or frown or whatever is the only part I really notice the big difference on. That and where they fill in the one seem.

     

    I dont see what the diference is with the ears or the black "brow" strip. Maybe someone could clue me in? :mellow:

     

    Do these HAVE to be moded to be 501st? Because (an no offense to any FX lid owners, I have one too) they look way better/more accurate/etc than the FX lid and that is accepted.

     

    I may try to do the mod on the frown (because I think that's the only mod that IMO makes a differnce really to the look of the helmet), but I dont know that I want to "fix" what I feel doesnt really need fixing.

     

    I hope I dont offend anyone or ruffle anyones feathers with those comments. That is not my intentions. I know from experience with other forums (not 501st so far, you guys all seem to be a real pleasant and accepting comuninty) that sometimes if you try to express an opinion that is contrary to certain people and those people jump out and practicaly beat you with a stick. lol :rolleyes:

     

    Not you guys though.. y'all are COOL! B)
