Most of us will have very little idea on how those tweeters are installed and how those copper cables are laid.
I am very fortunate that my new BH is about to be ready and just completed the nesting planks instalation (lower floor).
There are two more items to be installed and by June 15th,2008 it should be ready to bring those wild birds into the BH.
Today will install those mist spray system complete with a Smart Degree temperature sensor. Got a complete set of the unit (pump, selonoid valve, water filter, nozzles) yeaterday and have place order for 1/2" PVC pipes plus a number of tees, cock valves, caps and angles. Not to forget a few cans of cement bounding chemicals and those clamps to hold the pvc pipes onto the walls.
The mist spray installation is not much a challange as compared to those tweeters and those sound systems.
First and foremost I need to plan where to place the amplifiers and those tweeters. The most critical will be the exact location where the tweeters for the colony sound be situated and where the piyik (baby sound) be installed.
The best will be to have the colony sound to be at the perimeter of the colony area while the piyik at the center.
A proper copper cables with strong signal carrying capability must be purchased to do a good work.
Latest that I was warned about is to use not more then 25 tweeters per cable length. Once the tweeter exceed the number, the signal received by those few tweeters, located at the far end of the cable, will be very faint or no signal at all.
If my tweeters are incomporated with those capacitors, I need to make sure that the attachment to the copper cable are on the right side always. Any mistakes in these cable connection, will cause the sound to be poor in quality and defeat the purpose of a proper installation. I will ensure that every connection need to check and certified that they are done in accordance to this special guideline.
As for the amplifier, they are set to be delivered this weekend and I have choosen five units. They will those recommended to give a crystal clear sound and have a one year warranty of any failures. All will have both the memory card, thumb drive and external CD player attachment.
Two for the internal sound, two for the external sound and one for the Bazookas.
The ultra sonic (Santa Maria) need just a CD player unit and two magnetic compressor's tweeters (medium size).
There will be a few digital timers to be purchased.
Hope the above tips are valuable to those who planned to set up their own BH.
Anyway, if you wish to come and have a look at my new BH in Pahang, please give a call to Harry 017 755 1318 or drop an email. There will be a slight charge about Rm 200 per head (revised to include new fuel surcharge) inclusive of lunch and preview of BHs in Bentong. Price indicated are subject to change (fuel price is up today).

Hi, Harry,
How many tweeters should be placed at the entrance hole ?
Yong
Mr Yong,
The number of tweeters are dependent of many factors such as the neiborhood of houses, mosques, schools and etc. If I can I will put more then four.
In the case of a proper BH, U actually need to plan in such a way that you need to have a cluster of tweeters at the entrance (say four) and a few along the walls (four) and one more at the end of the nesting room. Total playing the external sound for one floor type of shoplot of 20 X 70 feet I will allocate at least 9 units.
Mind U my BH in SP, using open roof top type, my Sifu placed a total of 15 tweeters in the pond area alone. All facing upwards. Each of the four walls have at least three.
So it vary from one desing to another too....
Harry,
You are getting better jadi bisnesman :-)
Nest time others wanna visit my BH, I'll charge RM250 each. Otherwise, no talk.
