How do I mod a ThinkGeek Personal Soundtrack Shirt to output to Aker Amp


Recommended Posts

I am thinking of picking up one of the Personal Soundtrack shirts and adding various sounds for my kits to loop or single play via an SD card.

 

What I am not sure about, and I am having trouble finding is how do I modify it to work with an Aker Amp versus the speaker it comes with? I am concerned that the file selection box has a build in amp to drive the tshirt speaker and I don;t want to overload the Aker by pumping too much signal to it.

 

Does anyone have one of these shirts and done a similar mod?

I was looking at these s while a go, I couldn't find any info about using an external speaker but if you can use your own device with its speaker then it must be able to pump out a bit of volume. I liked the idea of being able to import your own files too, could load any Star Wars noises, chatter and so on, you can also loop files. I think it may go on to the wish list, if I can stop buying costumes lol

I really want this for my Tusken vs my TK (the TK loop mp3 is adequate for that need). I prefer to use my amp/speaker I use for my tusken sound glove device, but would love to be able to use this to load grunts and howls and whatever so I can loop certain items and do certain ones one off on demand.

Cool thing is that u can download the various Tusken sound links around and pop it in and have your own sound track and u have 20 options to make your own!!!! works awesome. and at top volume u can be hear at almost 150 ft if not more :)

Ok cool. So it does work. Not having purchased one yet, Can you clarify how modded it. Was it just taking he speaker cable and dropping on a 1/8" stereo mini plug on the end and done? Or did you have to pop it open and rewire anything?
