Turn broken speakers into a snappy media cabinet

Step 6 Hinges and Sexiness

Get out your hinges and carefully affix those things to your speaker box and speaker's front panel, so that it can swing in a door-like fashion. This door-like swinging object will henceforth function as your door. It might also be a good idea to attach some sort of handle to the front of your cabinet, so that opening it won't require 4 inch long fingernails.

Once that's done, you're free to stand your new kickass media cabinet up and see how it works. If you did everything correctly, your new media stand should be the envy of every Tom, Dick, and Harry within a 10 mile radius of your living room (though I won't be envious at all, as I already have my own speaker media cabinet... also, my name is not Tom, Dick, or Harry).

I'll hopefully be porting a lot of these projects of mine over to instructables in the coming weeks, but not all of them, so if you want to see some of my other stuff please check out: My Drivelicious Blog

I love it! Fantastic job! Those are some nice speakers by the way... It definitely warrants a trip to goodwill!

haha i just went to goodwill and got some huge ones for exactly this! only i didnt know anyones already done it!

They'd probably look just as cool to keep the screens on them

next find a working pair of huge box speakers and put the stereo inside.

Really sweet build actually. I have an old pair of Fischer STV-649s too. Unfortunately mine still work and there's no way I'm going to sacrifice them for media cabinets. For that matter I have a set of STV-666s too.... Great sound on the cheap if your into old school equipment.

Very nice Instructables. I agree with "Zak" that the strong point of this work is having kept the speakers on the front door.

a bit odd ( i dont mean that in a bad way), however a very cool idea and a nice easy to follow instrictable!!!1

Classic stashbox!

Very nice idea! especially leaving the speakers in. I'd have used only the black front to hide the contents. As for magnets: they are heavy, but non-magnetic media (like CDs and DVDs) will not be affected by them.
