Butah Fett Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Here's a nice tutorial on how to hook up aerator speakers to a mini plug. Note: Mike used items he found at his local Radio Shack, other parts can be substituted for the ones shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooperdad Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Of course this comes out the week AFTER I wire my mini aerator speakers.... Still, very nice tutorial with pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M.[TK] Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Just as a side note, you can also wire the speakers in a series, if you want to lessen the number of connections. For example, take the red from one speaker and connect it to the black of the other. Now connect the loose red and black wires to the mini plug. You can use extra wire if you need to extend it. Since there is no balance (left vs. right) between the speakers, and the distance is so short, this also works well. Just an option for wiring.

Dargas[501st] Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Great Mod! I?ll try to do this Myself to improve the speaker issue on my Bucket. Thanks for the pics soldier! Dargas TK-1845 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boborama 3230[501st] Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 How loud is the mini-speaker setup? I've always used my radio shack amp attached to my belt, but would rather have the sound come from my bucket. If this is just as loud, I would be interested in the upgrade. Thanks for these tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingrecorded Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 So once you had all the wiring done, how did you mount the speakers to the helmet. Also, are they loud enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent RayBans Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Also wondering how loud the end result is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjw Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 The original post showing the parallel wiring should be louder than the series wiring but both will depend upon the amp being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
