Great videos! This is great info. I got me a star killer saber and i believe the hole is 1 inch wide. I wonder if the ultrasabers speaker combo would fit in that and if not what other options are there? because i want to have sound. The saber itself already has led in it.

I believe I read earlier in the thread that the speaker\battery pack combo is a bit more than 1", so you'd have trouble I'm thinking. On the other hand, the speaker that already in the qui gon saber used in the video's is tiiiiny and will likely fit. I reused it for my dominix v2.

This is just what I needed to finish my saber, thank you! But I do have a question, is it possible just to use a 4 x AAA battery pack and speaker from radioshack instead of the ultrasabers one? I do love ultrasabers quality, but $18.50+$17.50 shipping is a little much for me right now for just a battery pack.

As far as I know the radio shack one should work just fine.

The Ultimate FX board will not go into a V2 hilt.

Ive been trying for weeks to get this crammed into a V2. Im not willing to say its impossible yet. I will say there's a high degree of difficulty. Its pure space limitations.

You're not going to be able to use the same speaker\battery pack combo he used, its too big. You'll have to find a different speaker, even if you use the really crappy one that comes in the UFX saber.

The initiate V3 is darn near impossible to fit the sound board in unless your using the lithium li-lon setup, I can only imagine how difficult the V2 is. That is why I suggested either the liberator or the shock bodies. The libby still requires a little cram-fu but is doable, the shock is easy peasy that why I used a shock in the tutorial video.

i want the v2 simply for its size and i think with claws and sound i would be something special and different and in a set of 2 the will be awesome for my sith assassin getup. i need a smaller saber i like 1handed sabers and the bigger hilts just feel wrong in one hand.

Well all I can say is to add sound to a initiate V2 is beyond my skill. The initiate V3 is doable (I know from experience) but difficult because you have to be a master of the ancient art of cram-fu, as far as smaller hilts go the shock can be small if you go with a different pommel and/or emitter, also the prophecy is a smaller hilt although I don't know what the internals look like because I myself don't have one so I don't know how crammed it would be inside. Back to the shock, it really isn't all that big, my 5 yr old nephew has no problem using mine as long as he uses both hands and I have a 24" (heavy grade) blade on it.
