Pimped Out Megaphone Helmet

Here I show how you can very simply modify a megaphone to accept 1/8" line input from an iPod, and mount the megaphone on top of a motorcycle helmet. The resulting "Mega Helmet" delivers the maximal aural stupidity allowed by law.

Step 1: Get a motorcycle helmet

Get a motorcycle helmet. I picked up this Honda one at a yard sale for $5.

[spydercanopus]

Sweeeet!! Maybe now I won't get beat up so bad by the cops at Truth rallies!

[Mr. Grumpus]

Take that, Jake and Elwood!!

[butterflycookies]

[CybergothiChe]

[sajo]

Imagine riding a motorcycle with this on, annoying the people anywhere nearby

[aplauche]

hahahaha! you are my hero i am building one of these TODAY i will let you know how it goes

[1Scray]

I just found this and I must say that it is truly awesome. Add a couple beers, a public place and nothing good can come from it, this has so much Jackass potential it is not even funny..........IN SHORT I LOVE IT.

"The blues brothers! One night only" Im liking this.

This sounds great for parties and dorm room hi jinks, but don't wear this helmet while riding. It'll snap your neck in a fall. Also, the second incarnation has holes drilled into the helmet shell for brackets. The integrity of the helmet is now severely compromised.

[ubr.bzkr]

well then just dont fall, he didnt mention ever riding a bike with it just playing soft ball with it. I wish i had a megaphone, this thing could be so much fun!

[awkrin]

and what's the sue of this? I mean, if u'r gonna ride a bike while talking, noone will hear u. if u'r running, same thing, and the megaphone was made to stay the same.

[btop]

?

[2fst4u]

what are you talking about? of course people can hear you. thats the POINT of the contraption

[fultron89]

how is this feature only now? It's been FOUR YEARS. So worth it...

[nighthunter]

Hey this is just what I need to night hunt with. I could hook up wild pig/other MP3 sounds and hunt with a 3MM/candle light power red lens spot light mounted on my scope, Generation 3 night vision glasses. This is the perfect red neck Christmas present.

[Krazyklown]

Lol you should get a motorcycle and while driving to your college teams game scream out your team name...

[baneat]

HAH! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???

[F1X0R]

Wonderful. But I think this might increase drag and full consumption a bit!

[DIY Dave]

[F1X0R]

[classicrocker12]

i ride a goped and i think this would be a pretty nifty 'stereo' and redneck cell phone for while im riding. also a good way to persuade the pregnant mother to move her baby carriage off the sidewalk. (just kidding)

[drummonkey92]

redneck cell phone hahaha

[darkmuskrat]

I love the last picture :P i would hate to listen to this :D

[loki233]

[Hawaii00000]

[joshspazjosh]

How much did the megaphone cost?

[thevenerablez]

I know, I'm replying 19 months after you posted. Anyways, they are $99. Here it is from RadioShack's site: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103828&cp=&sr=1&origkw=powerhorn&kw=powerhorn&parentPage=search

Why thank you. I have since upgraded this helmet significantly. I gave it a new paint job and added some electroluminescent wire for nighttime pizazz. Most importantly I have improved the way the megaphone is mounted by installing proper metal brackets. Basically I took a couple of 4" L braces, bent them to shape, then drilled holes into the helmet and bolted them on. A couple of big hose clamps from Home Depot were used to secure the megaphone to the brackets. Pix below.
