well i stated it earlier, i wanted to be able to play music while playing a game (like halo)

and the pics will be coming tonight if i can get my adelphia internet to work, damn them

i also have to decide how many holes i need for each speaker to let out a good amount of sound, what would u guys think (im using medium sized drill bits, as if i go ne higher in holes size the acrylic will crack)??

hey not a bad idea, if you want music and game at the same time

you should figure out how to wire a switch so the speakers play the mp3 player or the xbox sound, that would be even cooler

you're happy you scrapped the sub, the issue isnt even how bad it sounds
it would toast your xbox if it was in the same enclosure
if the magnetic field (not practical to shield) didnt wipe your drive
the vibrations would crash your drive platters sooner or later

as for sound ports, speakers under 6" sound just fine even without ports
they dont push enough air to matter
you should put a couple small ports in tho...
i'd guess make them as big as the speakers
not too big, wont affect the structure of the case

post pics when its done

yea, first off, it wasnt really ports i was talking bout drilling, but it was holes in front of the speakers for the sound (waves) to get out of the case and let me be able to hear it
so i was asking how many small holes (around 7/64 on a drill bit, maybe a few sizes bigger) would be needed to have adequate sound coming out of the case??

second, i figure if i were to have a switch (u got me thinking now =-) ) what kind would it need to be and how would i do it (i know id hook up the cables from the phone jack going to the mp3 player to it, and then id have to solder wires from the audi pins on the AV connector to the switch, but what kind of switch and how would i do it exactly)

i think i would put atleast half as many holes more then you have.

67thRaptorBull · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2004, 12:51:00 PM »

yea, i was thinking lowering the drill bit size by half and just covering all the empty spots with smaller holes

im also thinking of making the inter most center ones 1 and a half times as big

o and can someone please try to answer my question in the above post, the one bout splitting audio with a switch and what points on the AV conenctor are the L and R audio??

thanks

yea, i have a few extra fan grills, i might do that, or i might think bout cutting it out tonight, and i know id have to switch between the mp3 player and the xbox audio, but do i need a special switch for that (see how the headphone plug has 4 or 5 wires thatd need to be soldered to one side of the switch)??

67thRaptorBull · « **Reply #27 on:** March 26, 2004, 12:34:00 PM »

well, i decided itd be to hard and the end result would be it looking like shit, so i took a 2 old 80mm wire grills (chrome) and they dont fit exactly, but i can drill some holes, and then im painting them with my uv reactive paint, so when this is turned on, with the grill and speakers there, the holes dont draw to much attention

ill post pics soon, but i have yet to recieve my psu, so i cant run ne thing

and cueball, what i mean is, a normal switch only has like 1 or 2 wires for each side (or each part of the switch, like on, off or idle) but the wires id be using are 5 or 6 for each side of the switch, so is there a special switch or certain kind i can get?

o and on that tutorial you linked me to, do i just use the left and right audio aolder points, or do i also use the left and right screen points?

yea, thanks

my old man said well go to radioshack, and they could probably help me with it

and also, i asked before, but do i need to solder to the left and right audio only on that diagram u linked me to, or do i need to also solder to the left and right audio and screen?
