Adding econo sound to my Initiate v3- what do I need?

[Big Boss]

If you are planning on adding sound to an initiate V3 then good luck to you sir, if it's a initiate V2 then it can't be done. I have done it once for a friends V3 and will never do an initiate again. One of the main things that I needed was an extension from tcss to make the hilt longer so I could even fit the sound card into the saber. There is good reason why ultra says that in order for them to install obsidian sound into a initiate you have to get the Li-lon setup. It takes a master of the ancient art of cram-fu. It can be done but I just wanted to let you know that it is a challenge, especially if you are using the traditional battery/speaker combo.

Never say never. It is possible to add a sound board to a v2 initiate http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=773.0 like others have said it all depends on the board.

Would definitely be a challenge though!

That it would and I sure as heck wouldn't attempt to do it, but just the fact that its possible makes me respect those that have tried and succeeded in the art of cram fu.

I don't know if I will or not :p, depends on Emory's response to my email.

In response to the SY question, it should work with any colour, you just have to get the voltage/current output correct.

Very smexy, what body parts did you use?

I used 7"fluted Standerd hilt, 3" fluted double female,double male coupler with slots, style9 blade holder, mps style 8 pommel , mps insert style 6.
Future plans are Obsidian sound with Li-Ion set up and a Buckpuk, I'll need to replace the hilt section with one from UltraSabers so I can use MLS units. Currently it has UltraSabers regular led unit installed .

Dadgomn Boss. I honestly believed that it couldn't be done. I will have to add this to the bottom of my list of projects to try at some time in the future.

I have added sound on and initiate V2, I used the 25$ hasbro mace board its a little bigger than a quarter, used one 18650 single li-ion cell 3.7V 2600mah. I hotglued all the solderpads to prevent breakage  and stuffed the battery all the way up to the switch, placed board underneath it and had a JST connector at the bottom of board for quick charging and of course the speaker under JST connector. speaker needs pulled out when charging on setup i did, so i hot glued solder pads on it as well to prevent breakage. I might have been able to add recharge port but it was fast build and just didnt do it. It wasnt even that hard just a little bit of tinkering and u have to be gentle with hasbro boards till they are firmly secured to prevent the cheap wires from breaking.
