Waterproof Speakers that float - "It floats, it totes and it rocks the notes!"

Step 6 Amp

While the speaker will work well with out amplification, I felt it would make more sense (the white noise from running water will often "drown" out the music) to provide some boost. There are many solutions to this challange (see the many instructables on the topic), but mine was driven by cost and a few other criteria which will come to "Light" later. I chose the re-engineer an amp from some SWAG (stuff we all get)I I picked up along the way. One nice feature this design has is the 6v in port which actually runs of USB voltage. It also runs off four AAA rechargeable batteries that can be charged via the external 6v in or in Arizona the Sun.
