This instructable shows how to make a speaker out of a reused oil jug and some various other upcycled parts.

Step 1: Parts & Tools

Parts;
speaker
oil jug
headphone cord
paper towel tube
Elmer's spray-on adhesive (similar to plasti-dip)
screws

Tools;
utility knife
soldering iron
philips screwdrivers

Step 2: Marking and Cutting the Jug

Since the speaker was the same size around as a CD, I decided to use a CD as a template. I found where I wanted the speaker, lined up the CD and marked around it with a marker. Next I took my utility knife and cut along the line.

Step 3: Cleaning the Oil Jug

After cutting the hole for the speaker I wiped out all the oil with a paper towel, and washed it out with dawn dish soap.

Step 4: Glueing in the Bass Reflect

Now that the inside surface is free of oil it is time to glue in the bass reflect. I used elmers spray adhesive to glue it in place. (Plasti-dip spray should also work)

Step 5: Preparation for Wiring

To prepare for the wiring I punched a hole just below the handle on the oil jug for the headphone wire. After that tied a knot in the wire to prevent the wire from ever being pulled out.

Step 6: Punching Pilot Holes for the Screws

To make it easier to drive in the screws in, I punched holes with a small phillips screwdriver. You might want to remove the speaker when you are punching the holes so you don't accidently punch holes in the speaker too.
