Speaker system/Fans

[Ruvain West]

I was wondering what is a good speaker system, and fan selection for the Return of the Jedi Biker Scout outfit???

For those that want to use one, the Aker speakers are popular as they're small and well powered. I have one that goes in my left pouch and I route the headset through a small hole in my flightsuit, under my flak vest, and then over my 'bund through a small hole in the back of my pouch. Done that for the past 13 years with no issue.

As for fans, I currently have a KS helmet but I got a hollow snout kit from someone years ago. I just drilled a hole directly through the back of that, painted it all black and installed the mesh, and then put a squirrel fan pointing up to ventilate my lens. That said, some find that they don't need one as scouts have the open ear holes which do a good job for ventilation.

Mine is a Altmann helmet, and i am using a breast
feeding fan. USB charge no complicated wiring


It ll last 4hrs on low power and 1.5hrs on high power.

Most of us don't use fans as the Scout helmet is very well ventilated.  The ear holes and the channel along the back do a good job of circulating air.

Thank you!!

Another alternative for a speaker system is the Ukswrath mic system, which has the mic in the aerator of the snout piece. It’s pricey, but a decent option that keeps your pouches free and has everything wired in the bucket.

You can also run a speaker in the pouch like Dart suggested, but use a Bluetooth headset/mic so there’s no wiring.

I have a TRamp speaker in one of my pouches that connects to a wireless mic. As others have said I have never needed fans due to the helmet design.

Is that that name of the website I could get it from or just look up TRamp?

Does anyone know if the TRamp builder is still active?  We are going on 54 weeks since I ordered.  He used to answer my messages every couple of months.  But, he hasnt' had a post since November and isn't returning any message I have sent him.

@gmrhodes13 Glen, have you heard anything over at FISD regarding TRamp?

Hopefully you get an answer but just to make sure. 
 

How did you pay?  If you have already

A few members have been chasing orders, one has received theirs since but it took 12 months, TRamp is still active and still supplying just the wait times are pretty long now. Hang in there he will deliver in due course.

Thanks. I will keep hope alive.

 

I paid with pay pal and have sent him a Facebook message about once every 3-4 months. His last reply was November, though it looks like he viewed the message I sent in April but he didn't respond. I'm ok with a long wait, hopefully I'm not forgotten.

 

Thank you all for the info. :)

I remember seeing a post,a good few months ago, where he stated he was concentrating more on gun electronics , however this doesn't excuse not fulfilling previous speaker orders!

Paul has had all kinds of problems with suppliers and parts , some of which have gone up hundreds of percent past whatever you were quoted. He has also had to take a 9-5 job on a while back and is having a difficult time with home life atm. He is a very decent and good guy , and a legion member, just bear with and extend a bit of kindness and understanding. I know him well and he is struggling. 
Thanks troopers , be kind be well.

I think the majority of members are perfectly fine with giving a bit of slack, in terms of excessive wait times. It’s not knowing if you’re order will eventually be fulfilled is the problem.

Has anyone received their orders at any point this year?? At least we’ll know they’re being addressed.

I've just checked on his Facebook page,it seems like he has stopped answering people's emails a long time ago and lots of people are still waiting for their orders..make of that what you will.
