Planned Helmet Mods

So I am planning on making some improvements to my Shadow Guard helmet when it comes in including a voice amp kit, an environmental audio system (has microphones and speakers so I can hear outside the helmet), and the Handy Cooler mini handheld AC unit with tubing up into the helmet. Are there any other mods out there that anyone else can or would recommend?

Get a biking beanie/head stocking thing with a strip of silicone in the brow, it keeps sweat from running into your eyes from the forehead, which is really hard to deal with in the bucket

I think you'll quickly find there isn't a ton of space for a voice amp much less external microphones and speakers to hear what's going on inside. I'd love to see what you come up with though.

Most of the things like the microphones and the voice amp will be hidden behind my armor and only the small wires running up underneath my suit into my helmet. I have seen how the Vader in my local garrison does it and that helmet is just as tight. The speakers are micro-speakers and only 1/4" in thickness that an electronics buddy is making for me. Soon as I find a replacement helmet and get the audio system here I will post pics of it.
