DIY iPod Speakers

Posted on June 26th 2009  

Here’s a low budget, DIY speaker project that stays true to the simple, uncomplicated design of the iPod. You can create these speakers for the iPod or your MP3 player using a recipe of 4 paper cups, 2 toothpicks, and your regular old earbuds. I haven’t actually tried these mod paper cup speakers but the idea looks simple enough and might even boost the sound a bit.

I built a pair of those beauties in the office once… terrible idea & extremely poor sound quality

Very nice. MacGyver would be proud! If only we could make a synthesizer out of paper cups as well.
