This is a great Instructable, but you need to add a main image of the final project to the intro step. Please do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks!

Wow i did almost the exact same thing out of a coffee can, except mine was stereo. I used a pair of 3 watt speakers i got out of a set of computer speakers. one was mounted in the bottom the same way yours is. The other speaker was mounted on the top. It just so happened that the flaps sticking out of the speaker rested perfectly on the rim around the top. Then i used paper towels for insulation.

Did it sound better on the can then on the speaker plastic casing? :)
Cheers!

No, they sounded better in the plastic casing, but mine was a lot smaller. The original case was ported, and they were pretty big. I also used two speakers and combined them into one unit so theyre a lot more portable.
