Very nice. Did you have to build the connector for it If so, where did you source the housing and pins?

Quoted from mrs_mezelmods:

Ok- Happy to get this one rolling for everyone. Will add on once markmon sells his.... thanks for the suggestion all!

I want to put 2 of these symmetrically placed on AC/DC but it will require some sort of mounting brackets. Any help, advice, links would be appreciated.

Quoted from kpg:

I'm just waiting for a solution that's already made in a kit, simple instructions on which wires to tap, and all I need to do is click "Add to Cart" then "Checkout" and pay for a packaged mod to do this.

Wiring and building connectors can be tedious, but ultimately empowering when you don't have to wait or pay for a 3rd party product and can creatively apply your own vision.

I'm waiting of a couple meters from China for my AC/DC. I'll put my money where my mouth is and post here when my mod is finished.

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!

As Promised.

A total pain to install, but entirely worth it. Cool mod!

Quoted from msj2222:

ok, I kinda thought so but the Low, high input me me off rather than +/-. Didn't want to bbQ anything. Thanks so much

Polarity from the speaker shouldn't make a difference.

Quoted from marksf123:

I like this mod and I am interested but just wondering from those that installed it if it is distracting or too bright during game play?

Definitely not too bright. Whether or not it is distracting would depend on placement and your sensibilities.
