I knew there was a reason I liked you. So excited for you! Thanks Jorge!! Whoody whoop!!! I appreciate all the kind words, and I'm glad you hung around through what seemed to feel like forever. lol I'll definitely be doing that. I have some things I want to get done before my first one as well! Fans being a big part of that. I'd like to get my iComm first too, but not sure if that'll happen. I guess I can just be silent if not. lol Oh yea?! How funny!! It's that Taurus intuition! lolol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucnak[TK] Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 You can definitely use an amp without the iComm...that's what I've been doing. Before, I was kind of just shouting hahah. Yes, fans will be a lifesaver for outdoor troops, especially given the heat I assume you experience in Texas! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, fans will be a lifesaver for outdoor troops, especially given the heat I assume you experience in Texas! I was just made aware of using just the amp as well with my squad leader. That's good to know. I was hoping I wouldn't have to be a yeller also. lolol Pus it kinda ruins the effect when it's a low dull voice coming from the helmet. I think I'm going to order mine here in the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoSc0ut[TK] Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Are there any good tutorials or anything for cutting the long plastic "bracket" that most people use for installing fans inside the helmet? Jim, did you just eyeball yours? Sort of. I used a piece of cardboard from a flattened out cereal box and free handed a template and test fit it a few times and tweaked it until I had what I wanted. Then traced it onto the plastic and cut away! Jim - TK50899 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucnak[TK] Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Actually, if you don't mind documenting your bracket build, I will use that to build one as well! I have some velcro in my helmet that's not quite doing teh job right now and have been lazy hahah. They're pretty loose in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
