mr saber sound questions

[pipster79]

hi, i bought a anikan ep3 saber off ebay with no working sound, tried my batter pack from my obi wan and worked nice, found it to b the speaker in the anikans one was dead, replaced with a 1 inch i had kicking around but its really quiet, is there a way i can make it louder?
also im thinking about buying the ultrasound board for it but i want to stick to the led strip, can the ultra sound work with the strip? if so how would i wire it up?

I'm no expert, but this is my thought.

1.) You could purchase the premium speaker offered in the shop. It might be better than what you have there now.

2.) It could be the driver board itself that's limiting the volume amplification. I don't know what the power draw is on the speaker you have, but I'm willing to bet that there's not enough power being driven to the speaker to give proper volume.

3.) As far as the UltraSound and LED strip go, I'm not too sure there. I would assume the strip can be wired into the LED contact. Could you elaborate more on the LED strip's application so we (or at least myself) might know what it's use is? I'm guessing it's the power LED strip, but I could be wrong.

As I said, I'm no expert, but I thought I'd chip in my two cents. Feel free to flame me if I'm in the wrong.

k what i meant was i want to use the ultrasound with my stock blade, and keep the power up and down effects of it (lights going up and down the blade) i want my anikan saber to stay stock but add the ultra sound cuz the stock sounds suck

[pipster79]

a note about the sound not being loud enough, i found out what the prob was, resonance or however its spelled lol, not proper volume behind the speaker, made chamber for it and sounds just as lonud now as my obi wan saber

again wont work, ultrasabers is a luxeon led sound board. if you want to stick with the led strip then your only option is A: stick with the mr sound board or B: pay an arm and a leg for a hyperdyne poo or C: convert to luxeon leds and forget the flimzy led strip.

[Jeb Ardunis]

Ah, yeah... I had resonance as a side-thought, but I figured that it was something more technical. (I have this habit of thinking too deep on things sometimes. *lol*)

Good to hear you figured it out though.

It will work just not the way he intends it. The scrolling will be gone.

to all those who said i couldnt do it, and that it couldnt be done...ive done it, i have my crystal focus v1.2 working with stock anakin blade, and still have the scrolling effect

You are just one to go against the grain aren't you? BUT with that said, nice job on getting it to work, you'll have to post on how you did it, maybe a Video to impress. I personally wouldn't use the Stock MR blade, since the CF is made to enhance the power on power off sequence of the Lux, to make it look like it extends/retracts. Then again, there are probably a few possibilities to work with, with the stock MR blade.
