Speakers for bicycle

These speakers are a combo of those swapmeet foldup speakers they sell for ipods and some i salvaged from an old I-mac computer.  the battery holder is from the first version of my bicycle lights and the wires were either bought at radio shack or found in dumpster.  this is a custom job i did for someone who wanted speakers on their bike.

it also sounds better since the ape hangers are close to shoulder / ear level . it was fun to build but like the lights and horn stealthing the wiring is going to be a pain. thanks for commenting
