i am attempting (but failing) to build y own portable speakers
im trying to use a 4ohms / 10 watt speaker with a 9 volt battery and a male jack for my ipod
i have assembled it all to the best of my knowledge but when i put the battery on the bare wires (testing if it works), ipod says music is playing but the speaker has other ideas.

I don't see any mention of an amplifier - the Ipod will NOT drive the speaker directly. Where does the battery feature in this ?

What circuit are you using ?
