revel911 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 I have seen some wonderful clean pics of voice amps and fan power supplies in helmets and I am trying to figure, great, but how do you get your head in there? Right now I just have a fan kit (looking for an amp and voice changing set), but still struggling to get the fan power supply in a place that looks nice, holds, and doesn't drive head forward allowing me to put my helmet on.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Firstly some helmets are bigger than others. That said I only have fans in my helmet, I use a wired mic, then run the cable down to behind my chest where the aker amp and icomm unit are housed, keeps weight off your helmet which is a must as I have neck issues. My fans use 4 x AA battery packs which fit in nicely on the lower cheeks. Here's a few links showing how others have tackled their helmets Many of us keep the aker and icomm behind the chest, the image below is not mine, I have them tightly together held with elastic with velcro sewn on the back. Also have a small ABS ledge of angled plastic below to stop them falling down. Some use an icomm and hovi tip speakers A few keep them strapped together on their neck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableGuy[Admin] Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hey trooper,A bit like Glen, I also keep my voice amp outside of the helmet. To be honest, if you put it inside your helmet, I think you’d do some long term hearing damage as you’ll have to turn it up quite loud for it to be heard in many situations. I also have my fans in my helmet, then have an over the ear mic, hardwired down to behind my chest plate to the amp/speaker. Here’s a look at how I’ve personally mounted my fans and power pack inside a helmet:Here is how I use my voice system - as you’ll see, I simply hang the amp/speaker around my neck, facing outwards towards the chest plate:Hope that helps. Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Best wishes Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any screws at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those images are actually mine, but I use black silicon, I use black so it matches the black paint inside. I use magnets to hold the lens nice and tight while the silicon dries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
