I don't know what I'm doing...

I want to make my BF a double bladed saber with sound... does both sides need sound or does it come from the coupler? What's the difference with the pummels? I know I seem very stupid... and I'm sorry...

You don't seem stupid at all!  You're just new at this.  Lemme explain.

Sound comes from the speakers mounted in the lightsaber hilt, which is wired to the soundboard.  Since a double bladed saber is really just two single sabers attached with a coupler, to have a staff with sound you need a soundboard and speaker in each hilt, and a vented coupler.  This means you need vented pommels for each hilt, as the sound comes out of the very bottom of the pommel.

Hope that helps.  Feel free to ask any other questions you may have!

Hey, one oddball I have... would the clash of a staff set off sounds in both hilts if they both had sound?

I've never really gotten to use a staff with sound (apart from my friend's MR Maul a long time ago) so I'm not sure.  My guess would be yes, if you have the sensitivity settings up.

my phantasm has sound in both with the foc too, i had to change the settings around a bit but as long as you have the settings set to a somewhat stronger reaction for the clash and they are equal then they dont set each other off when one is hit unless ur going at it like raving animals and trying to destroy a brick wall:) it took a while to find a good setting but i finally did because it looked weird when one side of my staff would flash purple when only the other was hit...

@ Taylorjaymaz:  If you don't mind, could you give us an idea of about what settings you used, this would come in handy especially for those of us (me too) that has never messed around with the settings.

@ Anjelka:  Having sound on both hilts would make the staff more balanced, but it is more expensive also.  I have never had a staff with sound on only one side, but hopefully someone else will come forward and share their opinion.

As far as hilts go, and again for the balance issue, I suggest using the same kind of design for both ends such as a:  Dominix, Aeon, Standard Issue, Liberator, Consular, etc,.

Good luck on your hunt.
