Introduction: Salad Bowl Speaker
Hello Communiity
One of my loveliest pieces i've made. I hope you enjoy it.
Step 1: The Parts
Parts you need:
Salad Bowl from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/ch/de/catalog/products/2021434...
12x 1,5" inch speaker from 6 soundbars: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/oas/product-deta...
(but i have the speakers for free in the office)
1x 2.1 5V Amplifier with Subwoofer Channel: http://www.ebay.de/itm/131573062090?_trksid=p20603...
1x 2" inch Subwoofer: http://de.aliexpress.com/item/2pcs-2-inch-4Ohm-10W...
Alternative for 1,5" speaker: http://www.ebay.de/itm/2pcs-1-5-inch-4Ohm-4-3W-Ful...
5mm wood from local DIY market
Tools you need:
- Drill Crowns
- Drills
- Hot glue
- Wires
- Screwdrivers
Costs for parts (with the alternativ speaker): ~ 65 Euro (ca. 70 dollar)
Step 2: Drill, Drill, Drill
I drill 12 3cm holes around the bowl and one 2" inch hole on the top. with the drill crowns.
Step 3: Glue the Speakers
I cut the corners off from all the 1,5" inch speakers and glue it into the holes.
Connect the speakers in 2 pairs of 3 speakers for one channel and the other 2 pairs of 3 speakers for the second channel
last step, i saw a 19cm round backplate from 5mm wood and screw it on the 3 points.
Step 4: Finishing the Super Bowl
All around the speaker, you have the same acoustic from it with a litte bass boost on the top. i realy like :-)

Nice job! do you use that for some kind of acoustic study? or it´s just for fun? looks like the professional isometric speakers
