Custom iPod Speaker!

[Brandon]

Hey Everybody,

Thought I would show everybody my custom iPod speaker. I am probably not the first person to come up with this idea, but I thought I would at least show everybody my work. At the end of the three images I did a quick little video of it.

Video of it in action: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=31451238.

Tell me if you have any comments.

Not sure if the video itself was flat sounding or the speaker was, but that's cool. It's pretty much just something where you make a jack and put a speaker at the end of it.

Ya that's not powered by the iPod's built in mini-amp or what not you call it with it's power supply (external power). I might build a custom amp + mini-sub woofer for it too hahaahha.

And what you did there isn't hard i've built a custom amp + speaker box before but it sounded like crap.

um yes but my one doesn't sound like crap

Well that's my Cell Phone for ya, this thing sounds amazing in person. I got a 4 Watt speaker wired to it in mono w/ Bass Boost enabled on the iPod. Even as high as it can go, it creates crisp, clean audio with a bass thump and everything.

For 3 minutes of work, I am not going to complain with the results.

That was the plan.

word of caution: you can overload the amp in the ipod and make the sound non working. I had a skeaker just like that pluged into my computer and i fried the amp for that output.
