I’ve seen the speakers mounted like this numerous times and I have to ask why? Why is one mounted facing the motherboard but then the one by the cyclotron is facing into the pack? Being how often I see it there has to be a reason. What light can you shed on that for me?
Two reasons -
-
It gave me more floor space to tuck in the Mighty boards (still away from the magnet.
-
It meant that I only had to drill four holes in the mother board instead of 98.
Yesterday the pack sounded great. And with the forward facing speaker in to Cyclotron it really sounded cool.
Thanks! I figured it had something to do with the way the sound works.
I think it works well since there is one speaker facing out (so all the high tones can be heard) the other speaker is muffled for sure, but it ends up being the low tones you hear out of that.
My own set up is what I think is ideal, two small speakers facing out of the mother board.
Great Job, Alan! I’m sure that smile on his face was worth all of work and time that went into making it.
Hot damn! That was inspiring, and I really need to start hustling on my pack. Barely got the front barrel completed today. But man, an inspiring build all round!
Thanks! It was definitely fun to make. The problem with finishing a pack is you kind of want to keep on and make another… And another and so on. You know, like Meth.
Breaking unlicensed nuclear accelerators…
Bravo! That is a damn nice pack, and i love the fact its made with one of my shells haha.
And your thrower kit, your resin parts and motherboard. It’s a Nick pack through and through!
I have my speakers set up this way too, i figure that no matter where people are stood near me, either infront or behind me they’re sure to hear me 
My pack’s new home!
I cannot express enough I lucky I was to have Alan do this build for me. I commissioned a proton pack and gained a new friend on top of it. And the surprise reveal was very well-orchestrated! You’d think, looking at the video (my wife recorded the whole thing), “How does he not know that’s his pack in the chair?” But really - when you’re in a group where everyone else has a pack, one more on a chair doesn’t draw attention to itself. Then, I heard that clicking of the crank knob - and BOOM! Childhood dream fulfilled. Life achievement unlocked.
So - a million thanks to Alan, and extraordinary gratitude to everyone who helped me collect parts, made the parts on this pack, and even sent us a few free parts! This thing is awesome.
Aw, shucks… 
Enjoy her Jeff, glad i had involvement in making this dream come true for you.
What an awesome build. I think you’ve convinced me to go the Nick-A-Tron route on my first build for sure. I can’t find the motherboard for his shells listed for sale anywhere including the website… Where did you get the one you used or will another fit the shell just as well?
You might want to drop him a line. He made the one we used. And thank you!
hey what did you use to mount your handles to the gun body?
What are the measurements of the speaker? I’m thinking of upgrading my Matty to a throwing chicken wand but not sure if I have mounting space in my current pack.
The pack has two 6" speakers inside. The sound quality is amazing, but I know it took a little maneuvering to get them both to fit. I think I’ve seen other set ups where one of the two is a 6" speaker and the other is 4.5", maybe? Not sure. Alan would be the better authority here. It’s been a while since I’ve perused other builds since this beauty came home.
This is a pack with a 4" and a 6" speaker, however, you would think the one with the two 6" speakers would be more powerful, as bass is a key player in emulating the cyclotron hum.
