PSP EXTRA GRIP AND SOUND - joystick bar and 2W speaker

How to make a "grip add on" for the psp using an old joystick and 2W, amplified, stereo speaker. (sory for the bad english)

Step 1 You need...

one psp
one joystick
one pair of mp3/mp4/ipod portable speakers

tips:
-i prefered to use mp3/mp4 speker because the ipod speakers are much more expensive. these cost 10$, ipod speakers much more.

-try to find speakers with builted in amplifier. placing a speaker directly into to the jack won't be louder than the psp speakers.

Mm, to clear this up, because I didn't really notice until the 5th time of working the pictures over, your MP3 player uses the wire. I didn't really notice, for some reason I had it in my head that it was like an iPod dock and it played one the MP3 was docked. It confused me for a while because I kept looking at the picture where you have the speaker on the back of the controller and noticed the wires and I thought that you modded your PSP to plug those wires in or some bull. Lol. More or less, this is a good instructable. I like the speaker part more, it is what drew me to this. I would probably take this idea and use it on a holder from Gamestop or something as said in a previous comment. Though it would be quite a nice accomplishment to have made my own holder =P. If I do happen to do this, I'll be sure to post pictures. It'd be impressive because I have an oooold iPod dock that had 2 speakers on each side, so, it would look cool.

[polo99a9]

yes, an ipod dock is a better choice because it has better sound quality and I think it is smaller. even if this Instructable looks hard, it really isn't, but i suggest that you have all the tools so that you work better. you should try it. the holder is really comfortable, and it shouldn't take you more that 4-6 hours. best of luck, and keep me posted.
