NES Controller Speakers

This instructable will show you how to make small portable speakers for you ipod, using a broken cell phone and a NES controller. The speakers get about as loud as a built in ipod touch speaker, so not too loud. could be used as a pillow speaker. incase you're wondering, my ipod is a 1st gen, so it doesnt have built in speakers.

Step 1 Supplies

broken cell phone (i used an enV2)
NES Controller
Drill
Dremel (optional)
foil
multi-tool
headphone jack
hot glue

great ible !
although with mine i didnt use old cell phone speaker but rather a couple of 40mm ones. i need to add and amp but it looks great :)

Why not make it stereo? And the way you twisted the output from the jack can screw up the amp you're hooking it up to....

bro how would you wire stereo ? would you leave out the ground or what thats what im confused about lol

[T0C]

Well, out of the jack there are 3 wires -ground, +left and +right

When wiring put the ground on both spk's - and DON'T twist the other wires (some amps won't mind that but others will just burn out because you are shorting the left and right channel the wrong way) then put the +wire of the left channel (or right) on one spk's + and do the same with the remaining wire.

sorry if i'm explaining it stupidly but i'm half asleep now so.....yeah.... about that...... :D

i used 2 speakers from identical mcdonald's toys, wiring it in stereo. excellent results. also, instead of just a wire out i have a jack so i can wire things directly into it and i have a black male-male cord that i can use to connect it to my phone or whatever. great 'ible!
