he said to use a more expensive larger 3 way speaker to split up the sound fx or put a high pass filter on the speaker wires, the start up and down has a TON of low bass sound that should be ported to a sub woofer
he didnt say what speaker specs to look for but did say the more expensive ones will give best results
so basically i need a new speaker which i pretty much already new but i really need to know what specs to get as thers loads if i go and buy a $£100 speaker and it still destortes i wont be amused
what speakers are you guys using in your proton packs??
and he replied “They would be fine, but you can likely go a little cheaper and still be fine as well…”
So I went with the fusion option as it was cheaper.
But next time do what I did…Find some option links on the internet then ask questions. If you haven’t done some of the work first “ie finding some links for people to view” then sometimes you are less likely to get the action packed reply you are seeking.
Now having said that don’t take my speaker choice as the verbatim. I dont want to here you brought the same speaker and find out you are unhappy with it..I haven’t had the opportunity to test it out so i’m not sure if i will also have issues with it.
One other thing I remember Flynn saying is that as the sound kit already has an amp…don’t buy a speaker that also has an amp included…
Yes sure…When I get my sound kit…for sure. But it’s still on its way along with the rest of my order. So i wont be able to help you out for maybe a couple of weeks…Just sit tight. Best to wait and be sure rather than rush and make the same mistake.
Hookeeee, I have all my exoray stuff, and I have an appropiate battery on it’s way hopefully today. So i’m going to try and test my kit/speaker this weekend, and if you are still curious about my results…I’ll give you my results
As i’m installing this all on the motherboard itself, its takign a bit more time, But i’m fairly sure i’ll have it done by this weekend. Things always take longer than i estimate…
THe only thing that will be different between your’s and mine is I have decided to run with Flynns battery packs. I have used small plastic spacers to keep the speaker off the mobo as well.
ok I have an update but your not going to like it I have the same problem.
I asked Flynn about it and this is what he said…Hopefully he won’t mind me reposting his comments as I feel they are useful to anyone that is installing one of his kits…
“this is the drawback to not having an EQ or cross over as every speaker is different… There is a simple ‘fix’ but I have not had time to test and knock out some values, basically you just need to put a non polarized capacitor inline with the speaker and it will attenuate the low end, different values will result in different attenuations… I just have not had time to play around and find a value that would be universal… But if you want to experiment before I have an absolute answer here are some suggestions…”
So i’m off to get a 100uF @ 16volt NON-polarized capacitor and see how that works…
I’ll let you know my results soon. I think if you get a good speaker you should be fine but it looks like speakers vary quite abit from one another and it’s quite hard to get a universal set up. What you already have might work fine as he said these capacitors are only a couple of dollars and you just wind the speaker wires around them…
well i tried the distortion blockers and they just make the sound go really crappy and tinny
so thats out…
i just cant get rid of the mass distortion on power up and down sounds im not gonna go buy a really expensive speaker thers a possability it may still distort
Just been trying to install my sound kit from exoray today, I have a slight problem. When I wired it up to my exoray gun light kit and made a sound some of the lights would go very faint or not work and others would (without sound kit lights work great). Could this be because the batteries are old and need replacing or have I wired it wrong? Can someone help?
This is how I wired it just to try it out: disconnected the power from gun light kit and plugged it into sound kit, then used aux wire and connected that to where the power would connect on light kit, then plug the phone line in. Thats what I did.
I have just had an email from exoray, I had it plugged into the gun kit instead of the pack kit, I have now reconnected but now have a problem with the white lights in the vent bit. Power on all gun lighs ok, next switch powers on the other gun lights but with sound they go out. Exoray is trying to find out whats happening. It seems to be happening when I plug phone line in.
I have the same problem.
