This is very clever. Any splice of the AC power should be inside a non-combustible junction box. Junction boxes are pretty cheap, so this would add only a couple dollars to the build. There are also inexpensive motion detectors that have a power socket, which means you could avoid splicing the wires at all--just plug the speakers into the motion sensor. Here's one example: www.homedepot.com/p/Westek-Plug-In-Motion-Activated-Control-MLC4BC/203675444
Cool. I now even have one without the motion sensor that splits into other speakers (using a Stereo Y Adapter). This has many application possibilities and it's cheaper than most pre-built options.
Yes. I'm learning that they are not completely reliable as I've had a couple fail. But they are very inexpensive and they are one of a few that work while plugged in. I keep a couple extra on-hand just in case.

very cool idea also lets the actors know where the guest are !! HFL!!
That is a cool way to have your audio going in a small area. I need to work on our audio for this coming season.
looks cool! Your haunt is going to be awesome!! :-)
thanks for the details bro!
I'm gonna have to try this. Thanks for posting.

thanks for sharing
Could you also splice a wire for lighting? I'd like for the sensor to activate light and sound onto an inanimate creepy figure.
This is genius.thanks
Thanks! I also have a video of an updated version with a triggerable MP3 player.
Is that one of the little eclipse MP3 players from Wal-Mart?

That's funny. I have 2 of those and they say connection and stop playing when I plug it into the wall.
Can you give us a link to where we can buy all of things you need to make that Haunted House Sound System. Thanks.
What is the dba (decimals) output? Thank you
