Introduction: Steampunk Speaker Box - My First Instructable
I know it's really not steampunk enough for some, but i really liked the box as it was so I did not paint it. I like the rustic feel it has. I have four dollars in this project because I had the box and wood pieces, the handles, the neoprene (for sound) and the speakers. I paid the 4 dollars for the brass shower drain covers at our local Habitat for Humanity store.
The sound is extremely good especially when the door is closed. Its much better than I had hoped for.
The speakers were dismantled from 2 pair of Dell Computer speakers, I am using both mini amps from a single power source (the original transformer from Dell). I later added my cell phone charger under the shelf as an added bonus. Thanks for viewing.

I'd say that the steampnukness is in the colors, and the speaker grills

Pretty awesome project and having such a nice box helps definitely. The use of the shower drains as covers is A+ and I am sure I'll borrow this idea for one of my own Steampunk projects :)
Had to raise your average rating a bit.
