Re: Speaker Kill Switch

["JimM" <Reply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems the simplest thing is to just not point a speakers at your neighbors
house.  If it's pointed at the neighbors house, the real answer is "don't do
that as you're being a bad neighbor".

Your post seems to indicate that you want to shut down the speaker when you
get a complaint, and really, you SHOULD consider in your design that you
won't disrupt the neighbors.

"I'll do what I like until someone complains" is not the proper way to do
this.
