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.
I'm gonna have to try this. Thanks for posting.

looks cool! Your haunt is going to be awesome!! :-)
This is genius.thanks
Thanks! I also have a video of an updated version with a triggerable MP3 player.
What is the dba (decimals) output? Thank you
Could you also splice a wire for lighting? I'd like for the sensor to activate light and sound onto an inanimate creepy figure.
thanks for the details bro!
Can you give us a link to where we can buy all of things you need to make that Haunted House Sound System. Thanks.
thanks for sharing
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.
