I watched this music video and wanted to create this laser wolverine claw glove.

I recreated on paint what it should look like (setup)

What do you think? Would it work?

Try connecting the drivers in parallel, rather than in series. Think of how a headphone splitter might work.

Was thinking of that a moment ago.

But this would cost about 50-60$ to make.

Compared to the 200$

No...

just connect them differently.. so they each see the same battery voltage. Putting them in series like you have done requires a higher voltage battery, and some kind of voltage regulation/management to make sure each driver gets a same amount of voltage across its input.

Before you do any of this, read up on some basic electronics. Then you'll understand what he means by parallel and series, and save yourself from burning up your parts so that your $50-60 gloves really do become $200 gloves.
