Highly Portable Speaker

     The purpose of this project was to take a speaker, and make it highly portable. You never know when you are going to need to use a speaker. In my case, I needed a speaker for school to play music, without the weight of a large set of computer speakers, or having to explain them.

     To start out, you to gather some things...

     I started with a small set of speakers. They had a mono plug, and thus needed an update. I used a seperate cord to facilitate this. One of the two speakers were dead, so this wasn't a loss by using just one speaker. I started this project by ripping the actual component out of the casing around the speaker, and yanked the existing cord out.

     Than I chopped my new cord, and stripped it down.

     You than get two wire casings, each containing two wires, so you have a total of four wires. Strip each set of two like this.

     Now, you are ready to solder the wires to the speaker. However, you need to combine the four wires to two wires by twisting them together. You should know which to twist, the smaller wires(usually red and white) go to gether, as do the larger ones.

     Thats It. I then put it in my awesome case, the dead hard drive. Why use a DeadHard Drive? Well, what use could you have for one? Its thin (Usually, older ones are bigger), durable, and sleek (In Black). Perfect for a stealth speaker. I simply gutted a Hard Drive (Using the claw Hammer as a pry to open it) and epoxyed and glued the speaker to the hole in the hard drive (Used for rotation I believe) to mount the speaker. (NOTE: On my perticular drive, the speaker didn't fit because it was thicker than the drive. I simply put mine back together inside out to solve this problem. This is Where the extra screws come in too.)

     Afterwards, I fed the cord out of a hole in the bottem, and screwed it back up. Now I have a pocket sized speaker.
