portable speakers

in this instructable i will be creating a set of portable speakers from a set of cheap computer speakers.

You will need:


Solder
Soldering Iron
Wire Cutters
Needle Nose Pliers

And of course a set of computer speakers (any type of small speaker should do I'm just using cheap ones i got from importers salvage center they were about $8 AUD) and an mp3 player to play it on. one with changeable batteries is better because this drains them a fair bit.

Step 1 Pull apart

OK YAY now you get to break stuff. open the case and remove the speaker component from case and cut the wires about 10 cm or so from the solder joints. you can do this with one and keep one as a spare but i will show you how to create the portable with 2.

i did this same thing too, and i found out that simply putting them in an enclosure makes them a heck of a lot louder and adds bass. just make sure your enclosure is big enough on the inside to resonate sound and make sure it is sealed off. i also want to put an amp in mine, but im having trouble finding one. there are many kits online, but it would be nice if i could figure out how to power the ones that came with the speakers off of batteries, but i'm still working on that. good luck!
