I'm kind of off on a bit of a tangent, since the sound thread seems to be dealing primarily with the wiring of the module.
I recently acquired a sound module for a saber project. I checked against the Hasbro stuff, and this one is different, so at least I did not spend too much money on it.
I tested it last night, and it works, but the sound from the 1 3/8" mylar speaker is pretty bad. I checked the speaker, and it is 8 Ohm, 0.25W. I have a couple of questions about adding this setup to a saber:
1. I saw a miniature speaker at RadioShack that has a paper cone instead of Mylar. Is it worth replacing the speaker?
2. Fooling around with enclosures for the speaker, I came up with nothing. Could those of you who have done what I am trying to do show me how you did it (in terms of length of sonic chamber, how you fit all your electronics in the hilt, etc.)?
Thanks in advance.
...how will you know the light unless you have seen the dark? How will you know the good unless you have flirted with the evil?
