Yet Another Altoids Speaker System

A quick, easy to make, and actually pretty powerful speaker system; made from an Altoids tin and a cheap speaker system I bought at Ross. I know tons of these Instructables already exist, but it's my first, so I'm doing something simple.

Step 1 Components

You're going to need:
Altoids tin
Speaker/s(You can buy the little iPod speaker sets for pretty cheap just about anywhere.)
MP3 Player/iPod(for testing)
Needle nose pliers
Wire cutters/Scissors
Metal File(optional)

The Altoids tin is a useful package for many things, but sometimes it's used simply because it is an Altoids tin. Your use of "Yet Another" hints that this perhaps isn't the best package for the speakers, and your main aim was to put speakers into the tin?

I agree, there are just too many projects that would be better if they werent stuffed into Altoids tins just because everyone else does.

That's another way of putting it. I was interested that the author used the words "Yet Another" like they were aware of this. L

"Yet Another" implies that it's been done before. Altoids tins actually make wonderful houses for speakers.

[Crazzee]

I changed a few words to make the whole thing a bit less vague, but I don't see much I could do to it to make it any less...
