Butah Fett

Like I said on the FLG boards, nice work! Can't wait til it's done and can see it in person.

I get what you're saying now, but pictures are always welcome! Heck, a tutorial may even be in order if you're up to the task!

Funny story: Some guy in my garrison, we'll call him "Kahler," had his tube stripes on backwards for like over a year!

That's really awesome to hear! I love stories of the 501st giving to the community in times of desperation and strife, though of course I wish there was no need for it.

Not sure I follow, but glad you got it working.

Really? That sucks. It's pretty loud as it is, I'd just like to get a little more volume out of it for noisey cons and such. I'll give it a try anyway... Nothing ventured, nothint gained. Hmm, pretty odd. Can you get a pic of the set up/wiring?

Actually, I've seen a couple people go with the no stripes look. One of them was here when we did Star Wars Weekends in Orlando this year.

No problem, like I said, it's a common mistake!

I did mine the same way you did: put the speaker wires to a mono mini plug. Are you using a powered mic? It's required with that amp.

But you're absolutely right. Things may have sentimental value, but they are just "things." A life can never be replaced.

Use the search box for fan wiring. This happens all too often. What you're doing is connecting the + and - from the fan to switch as well as the + and - of the battery. Connect the - from the fan and battery directly (not the switch) then connect the + from the fan and battery to the separate posts on the switch.

I watched a reporter reporting from his own burning home. Heartbreaking stuff.

I plan pn putting it beind the aerators on the inside as the mic is pretty much right behind the speakers.

Keep an out for SuperTrooper's speaker runs he does every so often. Unlike other aerator speaker sellers claim, these fit perfectly in Hovi Mix tips and I've gotten a good amount of volume out of them using a gutted $12 Radio Shack amp and a $30 powered mic. Once I add some foam to cut down on feedback, I'll be able to raise it even louder.

I watched lots of coverage on this last night and I'm really hoping & praying for the best, especially for our 501st brothers and sisters.
