    Heres mine, i throw bumpers but think it could throw a teal 5 ish yds. I like that i can throw 3 or however many you design it for. It'll throw a bumper 10-15 yds long and 15ft high depending on placement. Peizo mounted to jbox, only negative is I need a car battery to weigh it down to keep from shaking bumpers off the arms. I built 2 of these, used them for 2 weeks then got a sweet deal on 4 max 5000s. Id sell them if antyone was interested.

    Not sure if anybody else out there is using the 9V receiver system from carymart or not. The 12V appears to be the way to go. I currently have the 9V system and wa having a heck of a time with battery life (as you can imagine), etc, because eeverything was running off of 2 9V batteries. So, I changed thigns around yesterday and thought I would throw the idea around to the group in case anybody else is having the same issue.

    I am powering ONLY the receiver off of a 9V battery. I added in a 12V rechargable battery to power the power door lock actuator and siren. I will try and post a diagram if anybody is interested sometime later in the week.
