Gutting the Spengler wand

Equipment Proton Packs
1

I am currently attempting to gut a Spengler wand and install a gbfans wand light kit that will communicate with the gbfans soundboard and an 8ohm speaker In the pack, question is, can I easily hook up the little speaker in the Spengler wand to the soundboard without issue? I have no idea the ohm rating on that tiny speaker inside the Spengler wand. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Basically looking for a tutorial on how to add a small speaker to a Neutrona wand using the gbfans kits if anyone has attempted this in a regular build?

shouldnt be too hard. Just run the speaker wires through the wand and in to the pack and connect it to the sound board.

Though im not sure if the speaker can handle the amplification the sound board puts out. I hooked the speaker that came with the spirit pack to the spongeface sound board and it nuked the speaker lol.

Oh man, yeah I’m concerned that it will fry the speaker or board. If I knew the ohm rating on the wand speaker I could try to run it in series to a speaker of (x) ohms to equal 8 total ohms but that of course would require tossing of all existing speakers…

You won’t fry the board even if the speaker burns out. I would assume the wand speaker is 8 ohm, but probably only 1 watt or less.

The Spengler wand speaker is 16 ohms .25 Watt.

I’m also gutting the wand, but I’m using the Spengler wand electronics in a stand alone rechargeable aluminum thrower and putting the spirit wand electronics in the Spengler wand shell to replace the undersized spirit wand.

Thanks guys, so say you wired the Spengler speaker @16ohm with a pack speaker @8ohm in series you would be at 24ohm and in parallel you would be at 12ohm? Either way you would be over the minimum impedance of the 8ohm amp in the gbfans soundboard board so all would be ok?

I think you will be fine, these amps are pretty solid. Unless you are doing something crazy with your speakers you arent going to damage anything. If the impedance is a little over, you dont risk any damage except maybe a slight degradation in audio output that you probably wont be able to hear with your ears. If you were dropping a 24" sub in that thing, you might have an issue.
