Glue the Neodymium magnet to the center of the piece of cardboard and lower the speaker assembly over the magnet. It should slide over it easily. Glue down the suspension cards to the cardboard and you are ready to test it out. Let us know if you make one and how it worked. Hope you enjoyed this Instructable.

cylindrical is preferabal but it doesn't really matter. you'll need neodymium though because they have to be strong. they're only a buck or two
