haha yea.. i had tried to take apart my Aker once and mount the speaker behind the chest plate, but was getting too much feedback. Im thinking i can take the speaker and enclose it within 2 sheets of a thinner flexable plastic with a hole cut for the front of it of course..this would make it thin and i could hang it around my neck...so i may try a V2 of the idea based on some stuff from yours...and i think because of you, i now found a good use for the push to talk button haha.
I actully got mics the same size as the borden for just that purpose. I also was thinking of putting one in the back of the helmet at the key slots. my biggest issue is usually hearing people behind me. i figured one in the front and one in the back may work. We'll see i guess. I also was thinking of using an earbud that only goes in a single ear like the ones for cell phones as to not block out EVERYTHING but what the mic picks up. But again we'll see how that works out..it may actually make more sense to have 2 earbuds. lol.
I have seen people do that. they cut out part of the slit in the left ear and made a hole between the top and bottom parts of the right ear for the other mic. thats something i may try as well.
