CCBacara Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I am currently looking into purchasing a little 10w amp set from a BSN member and I wondering what others are doing to mount the amp to the inside of the chest plate? I have SC armor and it seems like I have plenty of room in the chest plate for the amp. Photos are appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I am currently looking into purchasing a little 10w amp set from a BSN member and I wondering what others are doing to mount the amp to the inside of the chest plate? I have SC armor and it seems like I have plenty of room in the chest plate for the amp. Photos are appreciated I used to have a speaker in my chestplate, but not now. I cut out the rectangle on the left chest and put gray speaker cloth into it. I then mounted the speaker to the inside of the chest plate over the hole with Goop. It worked well for a while, but would cause feedback and distortion after a while. One other issue was rainy or wet troops. I removed it for an event that I knew was going to rain on, and never put it back in. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grantd1* Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I've just located mine in my pouches...romfx & batts in one with the speaker in the other. I punched a hole through the back of the pockets, through the bundand plug into the mic. I thought about using the chest plate but figured it's a little too high. At first I had the speaker high in my TK but If I was talking to kids or down in general the the mic & speakers electronic fields got a little snug and give off feedback - height wise a TB chest plate is more of a bikini!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I put the speaker in the back hump, it then appears to be a radio back pack with the wee tank topper etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Voorhees Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Mine is one of the aker amps...it is attached to the inside of my chest armor with an elastic strap i glued in. I didnt cut out the grey slot or anything. It works great, is plenty loud and i never get feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 use my aker speaker in my left pouch. Same. I just routed the wire through my suit and through a small hole on the back of the left pouch. Works great, easy to get to and no feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
