2007brandony Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) This the type of voice amp system I currently own. ----- It was left over from my Rubies Vader. Sold the "costume", kept the voice amp. I was initially going to mount it behind the chest plate, but I am left scratching my head how to do this without going ape-nuts with duct tape. Anyone have any pix of their rig I could get ideas from? Thanks in advance Edited December 5, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4505 Marcel Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I would say that amp is going to be too big to mount behind the chest plate or back plate, I have a romfx and it will lay flat in either position, and I can still feel it digging in, so something that size will cause you probs me thinks <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007brandony Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Thanks for the comments! It's giving me more to chew on regarding my placement of the amp... i know a couple peoplke with that amp but its always on their belt. Personally i am pretty skinny and so is my amp so i just drop it in the abb plate. haha. On the belt? I had not considered that as the unit itself is black and I didn't want it to be such a huge focal point on my white armor. Maybe if I paint it? I noticed that some seasoned troopers have theirs hidden in a pouch of some kind on their belts as well. It would be easier for something like this if I was shooting for a TD instead of a TK. I would say that amp is going to be too big to mount behind the chest plate or back plate, I have a romfx and it will lay flat in either position, and I can still feel it digging in, so something that size will cause you probs me thinks <_< I does dig in on my pecs. I had assumed that this was another "sacrifice" in wearing the armor . Nice to know that I can scratch something off the "uncomfortable" list. I had resolved NOT to mount it on my back plate as I didn't want the sound coming from behind. I'd hate for the illusion of being a TK to be shattered by sounding like a ventriloquist dummy. An option I've been thinking is setting up some black nylon webbing and clips right underneath my armpit. This way I can have the sound relatively closer to my front, but have it still blend into the black undersuit. Then, there's the option of selling it and getting something smallish and simple like Smitty's set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiyotei[TK] Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'm guessing that if you want to install an amp and speaker in your chest plate you would be better off with the radio shack amp. You can remove it from its box to reduce its size some. I'm a big fan of industrial velcro. It holds up well. Just use a really big piece. You may also want to look at some of the other amps around such as romfx, etc. If you go sandy you could hide that amp of yours in a pouch.

ThayNerd[TK] Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I mount my amp behind my chest plate with industrial strength velcro. I have a piece on the amp and a piece on the back of the chest plate, works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Nerdius Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yup. Industrial Velcro is the shiz and what I used. I mount my amp behind my chest plate with industrial strength velcro.

Anomaly[501st] Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 THANKS FOR POSTING THIS PIC!This is exactly what I needed to get an idea for my set up. Cheers! im very curious seeing people mount these behind chestplates.... how is the sound propagation for a speaker faced up directly to the plastic like that? what amount of volume do you lose? is there any tone change? muffling?
