Find an old leather jacket you may have lying around; in my case I pulled out the old "Levi's two horse" brand jacket.
Now that you have a jacket it's time to get some speakers. I chose long speakers which used to mount on an old monitor for financial reasons. If I had...
I intended on placing LED's to where it would light up the inner portion of the speakers. To do so I grinded out a notch in the middle of each speaker...
I realized that the speakers I was using had low output volume due to the fact that there is no built in amplifier for it. So I bought a BN9 RAMSEY SU...
These pictures show detailed images of how I made the amplifier.
This is where money directly conflicts with idea. Originally I was going to build my own VU meter using an LM3915 and this schematic: http://www.elekt...
If you haven't noticed right now, sewing is not my thing. So to keep the speakers in place I zip tied the top and bottom, and then hot glued black fab...

To wire the boards, attach resistors to the negative terminals, and add wire to the positive terminals. Leave both ends open so that you can place the...

Assembling this was a breeze. All you have to do is cut off the microphone piece on the headset, hot glue the fan on. After hot gluing the fan on, hot...
On testing the alien ware headset, I came up with a problem. The fan did not make the alien sound I was hoping it would; It was too small to produce ...
I was looking for something to enclose the amplifier I built (before I realized the amplifier was garbage) and I found a Yu-Gi-Oh magical dissapering ...
At this point, I was stumped on how to get 12 volts of battery without shelling out 30$ or more. I have never seen anyone use a 9 volt battery + 2 AA ...
Make sure when wiring the batteries together, put the positive on one to the negative on the other. I made the mistake and soldered both positive ter...
I didn't want the led's running continuously and I needed a way to turn the led's on and off. So I decided to put a switch. I used a DPDT (double ...
Now that your jacket is done, the insides should look similar to this picture. This diagram may also help people visualize the placement of wires whi...
Alright, now that the amazing jacket is complete, time to do some testing. Here's the first video I made with the jacket, It was probably the funni...
