Step 15The sound system
I like adding sound to things.
Shown here is a pair of 100W speakers I got from a surplus electronics store for $20. I wish I would have shopped around a bit because I found some similar ones for half the price later on.
The amplifier is from an electric go kart I made a few years back that had a similar sound system. I think I got it from radio shack originally.
To control the tunes I'm using my old 1st generation iPod nano. The battery is pretty much gone and you only get about 2-3 hours on a charge but its more than enough for this project.

Yes because the iPod can't drive speakers that size by itself. Most of those Ipod 'speaker docks' are the same way, but the amp is built inside of it.

I think the total for amp, speakers, and cables was around $100. Your best bet is to find electronic surplus stores or websites.
