el sound

[suit_man]

i'm sorry to ask this, i know that i saw something about it in these forums but i cannot find it now. is it possible to wire the sound from one of the 8 dollar light and sound sabers to an el saber powered by 9 volts? i can't run two circuits because i only have 6" to work with in my hilt, so i have room for a 9 volt, an inverter and the sound board, but not much else.

Still working on that.but there must be a way.

Somebody has mentioned a voltage reducer from radioshack..takes the input and puts out 4.5v or something like that which would work good for this problem.

but wouldn't that put out only 4.5 volts for the inverter as well?

no..you have the inverter go directly to the 9v and the voltage reducer is also tied into the 9v not 9v--reducer--inverter.

so i need to wire the sound parallel to the inverter?

hey tim, maybe you could post a drawing of what your talking about. its something i was considering but didnt know how to wire it. it might help others who arent real sure what your refering to.

yeah, i need a picture because i don't think i quite understand what you mean. also, i looked at radioshack and couldn't find a voltage reducer. are they in the component drawers?
