DIY Hi-Fi Loudspeaker

2008 September 30

It’s projects like this that make me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

It's even more cool in person

It's even more awesome in person.

José Pino describes in detail how to build a loudspeaker from :

  • 1 Magnet
  • 1 Business card (Please make sure it’s expired or cancelled first)
  • Wire 32 or 34 AWG
  • Paper bond
  • Tape
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Ballpoint pen
  • Lego bricks or wood.
  • Ruler.

This reminds me of an old dream I had of a DIY, steampunk, radio project. I think this guy just inspired me to take it up again.

The link and image shown are actually for his original speaker design. The Hi-Fi speaker is actually a different page.

    Actually, that one is the first version of my homemade speaker. The Hi-fi speaker link is:

    The foam plate speaker produces the best sound compared to the plastic cup.

    I also have the idea of build a home-made radio with all diy parts, that was the reason why I started to develop a homemade speaker.
