I read on one of the boris hack pages that if you remove the speaker you need to replace it with a resister to simulate the load of a speaker. I play my audio into some amplified computer speakers then use a splitter at the left speaker output, one line to the left speaker the other to Boris. You will need to install a 10K pot on the boris line (thanks to Otaku for this fix) otherwise if you trun up the speaker volume to high the jaw just stays open. I just left the boris speaker in and turn the comupter speaker up high enough that you can't really hear it.

Has anybody experimented with what appears to be an aux. power connection at the bottom of all the voice alteration switches? I say power connection because it looks just like the battery terminal connection of a househod cordless phone or an RC Car. If we could avoid using batteries to power these things it would great.

Very cool BonemanB!

How did you connect the small hose to your cannons from the fog machine? A special adaptor?

Any video of the cannons firing?

I hope to get a couple more of these skulls from big lots again this year...the whole crew will be talking...should be fun

Thanks for the video post

Dennis
