This is my new RGB lightsaber inspired by the B&O Beolink 1000 remote control.
It has 11 colors, 3 sound fonts plus 3 volume levels and mute, foc, and lockup.
A subtle paintjob and a really small weathering will follow.
After that the hilt will get a speaker upgrade to an Visaton K23 SQ speaker.
Cheers Yogie

Very nice, I love seeing sabers take inspiration from unique sources!
A little progress. I've installed the Visaton K23 SQ speaker. What a difference in sound quality and volume level.
I have decided to mount a Neoperl faucet sprayer from our hardware store as a pommel. I am really happy with it. :)

I've found a interresting leftover in the garage from my bike builds early this year.
A little black saddle clamp. :) I think it's a nice addition to the hilt.

Hi Jediseth
Attached you will find the detailed specs of the speaker. Visaton is a small well known company in Germany located in North Rhine Westphalia.
Their focus is mainly the industry and the DIY HiFi market.These guys produce high quality speakers for every need.
The frequency range of the K23 SQ is 300 - 19000 Hz at 74dB. The inner diameter of the hilt is 23mm and therefore an 28mm speaker wasn't an option.
Unfortunately I dont't have a chance to compare it to a Wow.
