Munny Speakers. (With amp!)

I was inspired by fungus amungus's Munny Speaker instructable but thought that if it was to have a good sound then it would need amplifying. I bought a very cheap set of iPod/laptop speakers to supply the actual speakers and the amp.
This project could work great with a second hand pair of computer speakers.
You will need:
Munny Dolls. (x2).
iPod speakers
Pliers
Soldering Iron
Craft Knife
Philipshead screwdriver
Hacksaw
Insulated wire
Scissors
Hot Glue gun
Vacuum Former (ok, so you prob dont have one but you will need a case for the amp)

Step 1: Breaking things

The first step is to break apart the speakers. You need to careful extract the speaker cones being careful not to damage them.
The Amp circuit board should also be taken out if you are going to make another case to house it. If you can/want to use the existing box, then leave it all connected. In hindsight, I probably should have done that rather than go to all the effort of making a new case.

Just thought Id share my Munny speaker system with you. Your Munny is a lot more refined. Mine isnt aesthetically finished. I used an old PC speaker system. I made simulated broken horns to mount the mid range speakers in. Then put all the electronics in an old plastic container. Made a make shift on of switch and volume knob. Mounted the electronics on the subwoofer, then mounted the Munny on the plastic container. It sounds really good, and gets fairly loud. I just cant decide what to cover the clear container and woofer with.

Mate...cool job with the Munny! I reckon yours might crank...

Thanks. Yeah, it fills the house pretty good. Allthough the bass can overpower the mids, at least theres a volume controll for the sub woofer. Also, since I used a bunch of plaster and fillers to make the Munnys head, it ended up detatching and fell off in the summer heat. I ditched the body and mounted the head on a mic stand swivel. So I guess its not really a munny anymore.
Anyway, thanks for the complement, and keep up the nice work.

oh yeah. I also made a sound port routed from the back of its head exiting through the teeth. It made a noticable difference

Just wondering: what is the frequency response on this or Fungus project ?
Usually I try to find as much possible linear response output (at least 20 - 20000 Hz) as is available in a tag price from 2.1 smalls for laptop ( i hate included miniature speakers) to my dining system...
That really depends on everyone taste but could imply damages to ears durring time.
