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.

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

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.

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.

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.
