Introduction: Paint Can Speaker
What does a paint can, an old speaker, and skateboard trucks have in common? They all come together to make one cool speaker. I hope to convert this to a Bluetooth speaker later on.
Step 1: Get a Paint Bucket, Remove the Label and As Much of the Paint Residue As You Can.
Step 2: Get Your Speaker and Set It on the Bottom of the Paint Can. Then Mark the Mounting Locations.
I got this speaker from an old RCA boombox that was going to be trashed. It's really not all that difficult to find an old speaker.
Step 3: Poke Holes All Around the Top of Your Can.
Step 4: Remove the Extra Metal and Slide the Speaker In. Mount It With Bolts.
Be careful, as the rim will now be VERY sharp.
Step 5: Remove the Handle.
Step 6: Mark the Holes in the Skateboard Trucks.
Step 7: Mount the Trucks With Bolts.
Step 8: Drill a Hole in the Can Lid, Thread the Wire Through, and Snap on the Lid.
Step 9: Hook It Up to Your Receiver and Rock On!
