th-cam.com/video/27SZ_oVBHeM/w-d-xo.html If anyone needs a tutorial on opening up the pack (the hardest part) watch this guys vid..also pay attention to the top of the pack you can see the yellow wires from the speaker I was talking about...have fun!
UPDATE: I just now did this upgrade, and HOLY MOLY! What an improvement! Such a great idea! Thanks for this, I picked up the JBL Flip 4, and it works so dang good, brother. I saw another YTer wire their setup through the wand and through the hose, all the way out to the same area where you zip tied the JBL at, works just as well. I may do that in the future with another Flip 4.
Hmmm so that sounds a bit past what I was willing to attempt but im sure its just as affective or more...I took the short cut way but im very happy with the results...thx for watching
Yea I tried to explain it the best I could but once you get the back off that's honestly the hardest part..speaker is right at the top and the speaker has a plus on the positive side..if you get that cable I shared the red cable goes to the plus side and the black to the other then just tape up the wires put the back on plug in your speaker and your ready to make noise! Thx for watching hope this helps
I saw your comment on @GhostbustersNews and decided to check this out for myself. That's a HUGE improvement and a step-by-step written tutorial would be great. Much respect, fellow ghosthead!!

Good idea. That's a lot easier than what I was planning to do. You may have changed my project for sheer simplicity. You got my attention on the GBNews channel, btw.
Only down side, it's probably not playing the thrower sounds through the JBL, right? For that you'd have to attach a couple wires to the thrower speaker wires and run those into the pack, merge them with your aux jack leads, then then it would play the thrower sounds as well.
Mate!!, That's a fantastic idea, simplistic and smart :). I've just ordered the cable. Thank you for sharing this. I'd love to see you mod it with the smoke machine when you get it.
For anyone that doesn't like the vibration the switch on the right inside the cyclotron controls it. Just flip it in the down position and it'll turn off the pack vibration
Also I'm huge fan of Jordan! And a late 80's, 90's, and early 2000's NBA. Always wanted a pair of the flu game MJ's. You should do a video of your collection!
So if u look at some of my older vids I have reviewed some of my different collections..I am going to do another soon showing my jordans models 1 -37 ...thx for watching and subscribing!
Nice, bro! Just to be clear? Both wires of the AUX cable are connected to the speaker itself ? Or are they linked to the yellow wires that come from the speaker ? Those two yellow wires coming from the speakers, you didn’t cut them or do anything to them ? I’d be interested in this mod but I’d rather hide the speaker in the storage compartment. The smoke machine thing is also a good idea. But those machines also need to be recharged. So I guess you’ll still have to open up the pack for that.
I tried to explain but I took a razor and trimmed the yellow wire to expose the copped inside each one...then stripped back the black and red wires (aux cable)a bit so I could get a good connection around each one then taped them up....I did try goin around just the speaker terminals and it did work but I was worried it would vibrate loose ..hope this helps..thx for watching!
I know what you mean! I've watched a couple people open the wand up and I didn't like how easily the parts came loose and I wouldn't want to make it not operate properly 🙃 anyways thx for watching!
I didn't take any pics but you could maybe screen shot from my video...keep in mind I have the Alice frame so I zip tied the speaker to it towards the bottom so it's out of the way but still on the exterior so you can hear it great! Thx for watching!
I pinned a vid by a fella that shows opening up the pack..thats the hardest part..u can see the yellow wires I talked about at the top of the pack..hopefully that helps..I should have taking more pics when I was working on mine but again once your inside the pack it's straight forward..thx for watching
@@la4sho23 where abouts did you make the cuts along the wire for the splice? closer to where its soldered to the speaker? the middle? near the board? sorry to be so specific
@nothingalways3 right in the middle because that's the easiest to work with..at first I just wrapped the ends of the aux right to the speaker terminals and it worked but I didn't want the connection to come loose or damage the speaker
@nothingalways3 yes touching the bare metal speaker terminal u can test.. remember that in order for the pack to turn on for testing u have to have the removable part with the 4 red lights in place..if not it wont turn on
@@la4sho23 Thanks dude, I just started dabbling in modding my SPIRIT pack, did some weathering, put a lighting kit in to have running lights while walking around a convention. ALICE frame, MOD Proton Blaster wand upgrade. Still need a few things, but is it ever really finished...no, not really
Yea I tried to explain it the best I could but once you get the back off that's honestly the hardest part..speaker is right at the top and the speaker has a plus on the positive side..if you get that cable I shared the red cable goes to the plus side and the black to the other then just tape up the wires put the back on plug in your speaker and your ready to make noise! Thx for watching hope this helps
You have this going to a JBL speaker, but unless yours is different from the one I have, it isn't small. What do you do with it to wear the pack? Have you thought of taking the electronics out of the JBL (or similar) and attaching them to the inside of the pack with the charging access open? That would take some time, but I could see how it could be done. Heck, you could even extend the on/off of the speaker power switch to the unused switch on the pack! That would be awesome!...I'm giving myself ideas! Lol
Jbl flip 4..(8 x 3")it's mounted towards the bottom of the Alice frame I can wear it just fine actually ..yea thats a pretty advanced idea you've got there..I was just aiming for easy
@Rudi Morel oh no it definitely wouldn't automatically..but it has a remote so u can just press the button to activate the smoke when u want...I don't have this one either its just something I was thinking about trying when its in stock
So I was thinking about adding a separate smaller Jbl (square shaped) bluetooth speaker that fits in that little door on the side and running another aux cord the same way off the speaker from the wand..just haven't done it yet...thx for watching
Pretty much most bluetooth speakers have an aux connection that I've seen but this is a jbl flip 4..I zip tied it to my Alice frame towards the bottom..thx for watching
WHATAVAL Mini Fog Smoke Machine Fogger Maker Wireless Remote Control Volume Adjustable Generator Kit for Photography Cosplay Airflow Testing a.co/d/fE0NnG6 Looks like its out of stock but this it what I found when I was looking..thx for watching
This is awesome and simple. So if I’m understanding right, I could cut both the yellow wires and splice in a aux wire that has one jack end cut off. Will the small speaker in the pack still make noise?
I just took a razor and carefully stripped the yellow wires down to the copper and made the connection then tapped them..I shared a link to the Mono aux cord you need..I tried a normal aux I had lying around but there was more wires and they were too thin to even work with..if u watch the video I demonstrated that the sound does still play through the stock speaker like normal as long as your connection are good..thx for watching!
How is the bass with it being mono? I know it also depends on the speaker. What is another good one to use or close to JBL? I don't know what model you're using. BTW, Great idea! Easy and effective!
I'm using a jbl flip 4 but it's 1000% better than the stock speaker...but this an easier mod for the person that doesn't wanna get advanced with amps and extra speakers...thx for watching!
I'm sure there's a shortage now because of the new pack but I got mine from Amazon but I've had then for a couple years..id say ebay or Amazon though hopefully...thx for watching!
So I saw a video of a guy that tried to plug 2 seperate aux cables (1 from the pack and 1 from the wand) into a aux switch bored and it was very distorted and then he lost all sound from his pack...I would say just use 2 seperate bluetooth speakers..ive been seeing people use a small square jbl that fits in the side door..i was thinking about doing that but I just haven't felt like taking the wand apart yet lol...thx for watching!
Nope! Plenty of room in there to follow other wires on down..I exited the pack through the stock strap holes that I removed when I added the Alice frame...thx for watching
I know it wouldn't be as powerful, but I wonder if there's a mini wired speaker that could fit into the empty side compartment. Could maybe at least double the volume coming up at the wearer. Anyone know of one?
I feel like the sound would be a bit more distorted but its worth a shot but this way you get an amplified sound from whatever bluetooth speaker you go with...I wouldn't wanna add any extra strain on the motherboard since it wasn't designed for extra speakers in my opinion...thx for watching!
Yep..at the beginning of the vid you can see me messing with the aux cord..its just zip tied to the Alice frame at the bottom between the lower back waist buckle padding and the pack..sorry I should have shown that better...thx for watching
@Lewis Causey it's actually mounted in a way where I can access the charging port and aux imput to charge the speaker separately and easily..thx for watching!

Thx for watching hope this helps
Wouldn't it be easier to download the sound effects to your phone and use bluetooth to play the soundtrack instead of tapping into your proton pack and lessening the value of the pack?
To each their own I guess but I like having the loudness of the sound effects happen instantly when you activate the power switch and when you disconnect the wires because the sounds match the lights as well..I already play the music through the Bluetooth speaker I added..I guess you would have to have one in front of you to appreciate the difference it makes because the factory speaker is just to quiet. Plus the mod I did was easy and did zero damage to the pack it's really a no brainer when you hear the difference.

You could also run the aux cable thru the SPK0 port on the circuitboard. It’s runs in parallel with the stock speaker.
Hmmm so that sounds a bit past what I was willing to attempt but im sure its just as affective or more...I took the short cut way but im very happy with the results...thx for watching
@Anderson, do you have a picture or reference of the circuit board and the SPK0 port?
