I converted my car into a KITT.

I have the red light in the bumper.

and i want the sound effect to be heard as the light is on.

just for fun.

but what kind of speakers should i get? and how should i go about plugging them to my cd stereo or other device just to play taht sound effect?


any ideas?

 

try using marine speaker ! here in the south they use them all the time to match the tv in the doors and in the front of the car grill ! well iam not into that kinda stuff but i have done installs for people's cars and boats so just look intoo that you can find them cheap at wally wor aka walmart ! good luck !

 

thanks, ill look for those marine speakers.

any ideas on how to connect them to a player? like should i go to radio shack and buy some phone jack connectors and plug it into a cd player with a cd with teh sound effect on it? or how would you guys do it if you had to?

 

I've used some "weather / outdoor" $30 KLH speakers... they come with a bracket, screws right into the metal bumper, you can twist and aim the speaker where ever (towards the front fiberglass nose is best, loudest)...

Some scanners have the built in sound effect, with them, just a cable... but any other way, you will need some sort of amplifier... You can't just hook up the output from a portable CD player, not loud enough...

thanks, walmart and regualr auto stores do not hold marine water proof speakers.

i may have to go online

and i dont wana buy an amplifyer i'll just make a cd with the sound effect loopign and put it in my car cd player if i have to.

but how would i add the two speakers to the stereo that is made and connected to the four speakers in the car?

just piggy back negative and positive off the front speakers?

 

If you want to use your car's CD player (with an amp), I would run a switch... or it would be on all the time... You only really need 1 speaker up front, not 2... and don't play it too loud, since you will also be running the speaker inside and dropping inth the OHM load on the amp, it may not like it too much......

double post..

 

ok thanks guys

 

It would be kind'a neat to have two speakers stealthly mounted to created the greatest amount of stereo seperation. And then create the sound-effect in stereo and time it to the light travelling back & forth.
Then both the visual and the audible would be to it's greatest effect.

Just a thought.

 

hey i agree,

but if someone wants to explain what i need to exactly, whats connected to what, in the cheepest easiest way

please do

 

You would have to tweak the scanning effect yourself with a wav audio program.... panning back and forth to simulate stereo... and time it perfectly with your scanner....

Just get a scanner from Brennon / Lectric Enterprises.... Sound and remote built in... plug up a speaker and go!

i like their setup but way to pricey.

I just bought a 200 dollar scanner. after not liking a 30 and 60 dollar one.

i'm going to call them monday and see if i can buy just the controll module and remote.

fingers crossed.
