Pimped Out Megaphone Helmet

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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)
