Project Information:
Concept + Scenerios
Project Amped is the integration of speakers into
snowboarding pants. Whether hiking the mountain,
hitting the pipe or park, waiting the lift...jam to
you favorite tunes - without the use of headphone! Not
only can your buddies rock on too, but you can fully
experience you're surroundings. You know you love the
sound of your deck carving fresh powder, or the stoked
landing from that perfect hit. So get Amped1
Design (design accomodates what I have access to and
with what knowledge I have on the subject)
Amped pants are designed to be functional, clean
and simple. Portable speakers are contained in cargo
pockets. Wires run up inside front pockets to connect
to miniature amplifier. The amp then connects to
portable audio player (CD/mp3/MD) inside jacket.
Speakers are on pants, at side thigh, where less
chance of falling on can occur. Speakers are on pants
rather than jacket to ommit noise near head and create
ambiance, and also to decrease top heaviness.

Main Idea
Thinking ahead: (when possibilities are
opportune)
2 flexible flat speakers that zipper off and
can be replaced with zip on cargo pockets.
Speakers transmit to one another wirelessly.
Speaker with processor will interact with
woven in wires that relay and ascend to the
destination of an adapter at pant waist...
at which it would connect to your portable
audio player in jacket.
