Good quality iPod/iPhone speaker

Step 11 The End

I plugged in my iPhone and amazingly it worked first time.
I set the volume on the phone to Max using the Apple remote and then turned the gain up on the amp until it was just below the level where it was distorting. This way the kids/wife won't blow the speakers up.
Finally I put some cushion fluff inside to act as wadding, but standing waves shouldn't be too much of an issue due to all the stuff inside the box.

I will buy a USB charger and plumb that in to charge the iPod and then screw a base onto the bottom to seal the box. But for now it sounds pretty damn good and looks quite Apple!

Other than the above, Job Done! I have a cool looking iPod speaker that cost sod all and is rechargble as well.

That looks really good! I bet it sounds great. The ones you buy in the store are a complete joke unless you want to pay upwards of $500.

Damn fine project! Considering the cost of such devices to buy, and the "questionable" quality of such products, definitely a worthwhile project! I certainly hope your son appreciates the hard work his dad put into this project, beers or not! I am not an ipod owner, but I definitely appreciate hard work and excellent effort when I see it! 3 thumbs up brother! Loved it!

That's really cool! I wish I had a use for it, though. (Un)fortunately, I have a pseudo-hifi system in my room.
