How to Build iPhone Speakers, Speakers for iPhone Built Simple

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Things are better done yourself, and so are speakers for you iPhone with a newly released guide on how to build your own iPhone with simple easy instructions.  We’ve seen the iPhone speakers in the store and they are outright expensive!  $70 for some crappy speakers that are probably worse that the ones in my tv set?

The instructables guide was created after the owner of a pair of iPhone speakers had had it, after spending 50 quid on a pair of lousy speakers.   11 steps later and quite a few materials and you’ve got yourself one nicely built set of iPhone speakers.

Materials Needed:

1 X amplifier (15 year old pioneer) you can buy really cheap amps from maplin for a few quid
1 X 240v – 12v power supply which came from a knackered LCD monitor
1 X 13cm speaker came from an old Renault 19
2 X tweeters came from the same old renault
2 X crossovers from my old VW Polo hifi system
1 X sealed lead acid battery which came from my house alarm(please don’t burgle me!)
assorted wire(from off the floor)
MDF 12mm is all I had
Isopon filler (yanks call it Bondo)
glue, nails and white gloss paint
Apple universal dock and remote

To the guide! (this link)
