How to build a portable speaker

[realflow100]

hey you can do this with MTX 22' jackhammer!!!!

[jennybabe8]

who would carry such big speaker lol

[shayorshayorshayor]

please help me, I have a single speaker with no wires, amps or anything. just the terminals ( - ) and ( + ). and i connected it with my ipod with the AUX wires. BUT i really want to know, how do i give it a boost? sorta like adding a battery... how would i be able to attach a car battery on the circuit?

[realflow100]

@shayorshayorshayor you will most cetainly blow your speaker with a car battery. (get something like energsizer 9 volt battery instead)

[smexduck123]

why you glue the audio jack? IF SOME DEVICE THE AUDIO JACK IS IN TOP eg.Iphone. It will be not perfect!

[amj0o0d]

it sounds tooo low ! how i can make it louder?

[TheSupertecnology]

and of course it has no bass

[lysolknight]

Hey. Try what I do! I've been doin simple tricks for a long time like this. He only used the extra speaker. However, If you take a speaker system like that, cut the power cable, then put the appropriate ends to a 9V battery, it works very well. Volume control may be up a bit more than if plugged in, but still can be very loud! I used to carry one around in my school in a Gameboy Advance case. I can make 'em very small now! Just using the parts out of the main speaker, and a RC car battery. Try!

[lennartkns]

it will not work. This video is fake.

[AntwoineMcknight1993]

@lennartkns this is real i always have done it but the only propblem i always faced is the volume its very low but it works on every single speaker iv'e ever tried

[lennartkns]

i know that. It needs a amplifier. I,ve don it also but it,s not a LOUDspeaker its more like quiet-speaker...

[Modul52]

You forgot the amp and the battery. Amp will make it not sound lame and battery will make it portable, meaning no external power source such as plugging it into and electrical socket.

[huskeyman14]

no offence but here is an idea... buy some headphones!!!!

[2010MegaSaad]

35 people dont like music.

[mrnavajo12]

@2010MegaSaad and your an idiot

[a2ramirez]

you can do something else.. its easier... YOU CAN PLUG THE SPEAKERS TO THE IPOD!!! YOU RETARD

[rentjeff]

@a2ramirez you are so right just plug it in and if you dont have a power outlet just get pc speakers that dont need power lmao this video was worthless haha

[95berre]

smells like team spirit :D thumbs up just for the song

[TheChrisplayer94]

omg without amp :O

[psychopathicnorte]

your a dumass just plug in your computer speakers to you mp3 or ipod

[keekeemoomoo1]

@psychopathicnorte he did say portable right, not havin to plug it up..

[PanikingCamel]

@psychopathicnorte Then it wouldn't be portable moron.

[Mitpot9]

so wtf was the point of that? now you have One speaker instead of two, and no cable. whats your next video going to be? how to take out your motorcycle engine and mount it on your bicycle? It would be far simpler to mount both speakers onto a piece of wood, and if your concerned with battery life, sever the connecting wire between the two speakers and put in an on/off switch between them so you can use both or only one speaker.

[lavacamoo32]

whats da songs name???

[BandofBrothersDeath]

@lavacamoo32 Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit

[suntman2011]

hey thats kind of cool, but the ipod dont put dat much power to the speaker. just a random comment

[HolandaCavalcante]

Claro!

Agora vou ter uma caixa de som que não reproduz, por que não pensei nisso antes!?

[SunlightSilence]

I had no idea i can use a computer SPEAKER as a SPEAKER.

[jayholley123]

IF U WANT BETTER SOUND LISSEN TO THIS ________ U TAKE UR OLD PC SPEAKERS AND U TAKE THE POWER CORD CUT IT HALF WAY PUT ETHER 1 OR 2 9V BATT ON IT AND TAPE IT UP AND WALA U HAVE A BETTER SOUNDING AND ALLOT LOUDER SYSTEM LOOK AT MY VIDEO ON MY ACOUNT

[jayholley123]

IF U WANT BETTER SOUND LISSEN TO THIS ________ U TAKE UR OLD PC SPEAKERS AND U TAKE THE POWER CORD CUT IT HALF WAY PUT ETHER 1 OR 2 9V BATT ON IT AND TAPE IT UP AND WALA U HAVE A BETTER SOUNDING AND ALLOT LOUDER SYSTEM

[gitaargast1995]

@ ralphison, yeah and what you can do too, is instead of soldering an ipod jack to it, you can solder a sterio input-jack for a guitar on it. And there you have it, you very own guitar smplifier! :) that's what I did, and it works fine, i've put the speakers in small wooden boxes and the controls too, then stacked it, like a marshall amp and then spray-painted it. I'll put a vid on youtube later this week. :)

[ralphison]

better if you used both speakers and used the built in amplifier of that speaker.. that thing uses 9v power supply.. buy 9v rechargable battery and connect it on the DC in of that amplifier.. much louder, won't harm any audio sources. :D hope it helps :D

[girsbff12]

Sorry I did this at ten sux

[MegaAWA123]

It can harm your mobile so don't use this trick.

Because it has no Voltage controller.

[camra93]

i have headphones instead. how do i connect the speaker with the headphone wires ?

[advsoft]

Another idiotistic video!

You know that for feeding a speaker you need a amplifier, don't you ?! Connecting a speaker directly to the sound source will damage it (your mp3 player in this case).

[twistedvw1973]

@advsoft nope done it numerous times when i was 12 . its just quite.

[MrBurnTec]

@advsoft how does it damage it ??

[mso192]

@advsoft It will not damage your music player sines it is just doing the same thing it would hooked up to a amp but it is still idiotic for the fact that the level of output from the jack will be pitiful at best, I have made many portable speakers, one even with a sub-woofer. this is sad in a way because he has everything he needs right in the other speaker box... (at least if it's DC powered)

[V4N1HL4iC3hax0rz]

@advsoft actually thats not entirely true. I have a back pack with 10 speakers connected to 2 audio cables and used an audio splitter to lower the power and It hasnt damaged my IPod. I have been doing this for 3 years, I know what I'm doing.

[TheSupertecnology]

@advsoft seems you are foooool! if the speaker has the correct impendance the mp3 player/i pod/ whatever won´t get damage, and of course, this speaker has more watts than the ones of the mp3 player output

[legolas35653]

@advsoft well can you plug the tv directly ? how do souround sound speakers work ? do they have a amp?

[JO3s13r]

@advsoft no it will not. a amp simply makes it to were the wattage going to the speakers is higher. doing this does nothing to the mp3

[ivanzegt]

@advsoft your mp3 isnt damaged then but the sound isnt louder then a headphone

[advsoft]

Woukd YOU ALL please STOP sending me comments claiming 'no advsoft, it won't damage your mp3' you dumb dumb dumb-asses ! It will and I believe in this!! When the source provides different sound (ohms, wats, volts etc) it always damages!!! Not now, but using crap like this for a while WILL DECREASE it's amplifier FOREVER... MORRONS. Why don't you connect a 4ohm 200w speaker in to your 16ohm 20w amplifier ..... ? why ? /// excuse my bad language but you deserve it

[epickarmor]

dude

you'r dick

use the other speaker with the power cabel

inside of ot its one power transformer with is connected to the power cabel

cut it then conect the wires to 9V or >9v batery and your ready.....

use the jack that is owready connected

Sry for my bad english / no i learn Deutsch :)

[TheRazzaw]

wud turning the volume up on ur ipod/mp3/phone whatever not make it any louder then ?

[xMOWERYx]

dude why take that shit apart they make cables that go from av cables into headset jack on top of that...you could have cut the wire that it originally had and used the wires for that...duh

[TheHackWhite]

Umm that will destroy your mp3s built in amp because the mp3 amp requires 600 ohms and the big speaker is 4 to 8 ohms so it will short out your iPod

[sspaz1984]

hmm this one is better sspazify.webs.com

[kirren97]

hey, that shit need some amp!!! it doesn't sound anything!!

[NUMBA1SHANEFAN]

how do u do it if u want more than one speaker?

[DOPSIF]

i did something like this,but its like a milion times smaller

[Benisgood]

Can you do the same with the speaker that has the volume knob on it?

[schoolnotfun]

@Benisgood you could but itd be pretty useless, it would have the 2 settings of off, and barley audible. so volume wouldnt make a difference

[MrAlexifrim]

verrrrrrrrry simple you need an audio amplifier

if you don`t have an audio amplifier exist risk to burn out the mp3

[braiden2008]

For all you fuckin idiots out there who don't know what this would be used for here's an example. Say you wanna listen to a music device but it only uses head phones build this thing store it in your bag or where ever plug your musical device onto it know your jammin out loud without using dinky headphones! Btw it's like a portable speaker.

[AoE3Gamer]

this is how you break your mp3 player when it hit somthing, you schould kept some wire outside

[spectrumtwenty2]

what powers it?

[devine1009]

like the song

[SharukGuitar]

Nothing hi-tech stuff but I like the song choice!

[lubon124]

tou should use a amplifier... for example TDA7050 or LM386. There are very simply amplifiers and you don't have possiblity to blow player amplifier...

i have Bridge TDA7050 and it sounds nice :) voltage range for this amp is 1,6V to 6V

and max power is(4 ohms) near 500mW.

[elel70]

I have same speakers.

[Emothis007]

how ironic that when i found a broken at home, I wanted to make it a portable speaker.. I searched for videos and I found this.. we have the same old pc speaker.. lol.. :D it would be very easy for me to follow instruction.. thanks..

[MrArtiny]

hhhm. Okay. So I can take a part perfectly good ,working computer speakers that I might need and turn them into a smaller, tackier, piece of crap version of the same thing. good idea genius.

[jayholley123]

if u used the other speaker u could have hooked a 9v batt to it and make it louder

[6alaskan6chick6]

my computer is louder then that, why would i take the speakers apart jackass!!!

[AnRaX1992]

@6alaskan6chick6 Take you OLD SPEAKERS THAT YOU DON'T NEED IDIOT... LEARN TO READ

[laugh0and0die]

hei can use earphone audio jack??when i want to connect the wire .....got 3 wires 1 red 2 gold 3 blue............what blue for???

[laugh0and0die]

hei is it 1w 4o or 40 i think??........

[jayholley123]

use the little amp with like 2 9v batterys 

[joshuafarren]

@19minibowser90 try squeezing the mint tin amp in to make it louder coz you seemed to have a lot of space left inside and people are asking how to make it louder

[123hopalong]

do u need to open the one in the with out the voliume

[hellspawndarkangel]

ok first off, learn to solder, twist and tape is the worst form of electrical connections, anyone else watching this vid do not twist and tape! solder and heatshrink. Secondly, learn some basic grammar, the term " unconnecting" doesnt exist, what your thinking of is " disconnecting", that is all

[TheGrimOfFire]

Does It need Batteries because I didn't see you put in a electrical output?

[electrocrackable]

how can i incloude batteries, whare do you get energie from ?

[iTzthorness011]

the cords from my speaker are orange and blue.... wat shud i do?

[Ak0Za]

are ineserary its too big and need more components

[theraikz100]

its going to suck if you to it like this ... 

[Jerix11]

Lol Nirvana :D

[ClubPenguinBetaTest]

wrong....u dont have genertor...so u cant make it louder...wrong speakers.there are 2 speaker.one speaker with generator,another one-no.

[EvanProductions2]

Thanks for warching XD

[Samuka97]

What you need: Some old PC speakers you don't need

XD

[MIRACLESHAPN]

amazing i ll make this too thnx 4 sharing :)

[MultiCRABCAKES]

Jesus H.Christ

[GAGOSILKIM]

THE Biggest SHIT i ever seen..!!!!!

[frannkop]

jajajajjaajja impocible eso !!!

nunka nunka vas a poder mover un parlante de 5w

si el celular larga una baja frecuencia por la zona de auriculares

de lo cual solo un parlante que es el auricular que utiliza esa baja frecuencia

un parlante de computadora de 5 w nunka puede ser movido por un celular al menos que el parlante tenga un amplificador de esa potencia ...

bueh suerte mi viejo y la proxima aga el verso en otro lado :)

[LIKEBIGSHOTS]

doesnt worked for me.. =(

[KerrankiSuomee]

@hardyzzone everyone has the same damn speaker lmao i even have a pair lol ; yeah me and my friend too have exactly same kinda speakers =D

[djfantom205]

in order to make a compact amp to fit inside the speaker you would have to get a bunch of tranzisters rezisters and electrical filters.. but hay,you can be extremly getough and hack the amp from the master speaker

[GUAPISIMO323]

does it sound loud enough?

[MrPakibastard]

nice man i wanna do sumthing like this 4 my art projrct buh i dnt know where to start, i wanna make a whole bass system lol.

[isethaitchison]

Just a reminder....i did that using a 100W subwoofer and u can watch the battery drain. yes it works.

[CoolSypherz76]

good work they m8. i hope mine works like that. and i think that will kill ur bat faster btw.

[SKEEZIN08]

that works but the speaker needs an amp which you can build out of an altoid tin

[rocknroller290]

it wastes ur ipod battery so fast(half of battery in 30 mins)

[mize96]

how i can get it louder

[MonsterEnergyMan]

You have to use an amp with the speaker. That's why those speakers plug into the wall - to power the amplifier.

[djfantom205]

@MonsterEnergyMan you can also buy a inverter and walk around with a car battery in your backpack

[TheDigital333]

@mize96 You need an amp.

[Danny9193]

@mize96 need an amplifier box to run it through that will more then likely be battery powered

[dq476]

Thanks man it works great!

[mattybock]

you aren't building a damn thing. this is just repackaging an already built product. lame.

[Isaiyan01]

yup

[americaneagle791]

You should have built like a little amplifier like kipkay did.

[Playertuga18]

i cant open it xD

[TheDustyCartridge]

do you think i could fit one in an altoids can?

[GoldenSlurpee]

Yo how can we make it louder?? Can we like connect batteries to it

[19minibowser90]

@GoldenSlurpee if you get closer to the speaker it will sound louder

[Sirfishrune]

@19minibowser90 Omg no way! i never tried getting closer! to increase the sound!

[Human3xtube]

@19minibowser90

u think that's funny?????

[eVITORIOe]

@19minibowser90 lol

sure !

[RTKD15]

@19minibowser90 no mame wey mamas neta mejor xinga tu madre

[Watafunga]

@19minibowser90 faggot



[videostevo123]

@19minibowser90 the answer of a true genius who would of thought if you get closer to the speaker it would sound louder

[lavacamoo32]

@19minibowser90 lmfao xD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha

[billybobjoe198]

You could find out how many volts the Mp3 player puts out and attach a battery (Preferably add an on off switch) and before where the batter taps into the line put some volt regulators so the power won't go from the speaker to the player. I'm not an electrical engineer. But it might work.

[chrischoy9]

On the side where there's a volume control, open that bit, cut off the step-down transformer and use a 9 volt battery.

[E3FEF32856]

@GoldenSlurpee

u can make it louder if u take the speaker with volume control, take Transformer out

and ther will be 2 wires connect the ACCU (or battery 9v or 6v that many what speaker need)and put it together

[hellspawndarkangel]

@GoldenSlurpee you will need an amplifier to get anymore volume, mp3s/4s and ipods emit low volume designed to conserve battery power and to be used with headphones, not speakers

[MrAlexifrim]

@GoldenSlurpee you can`t connect batteries directly to the speaker!!!!!

YOU NEED AN AUDIO AMPLIFIER!!!!!!!!!!!

[MegaMultiX]

@GoldenSlurpee Yes, if you take appart both speakers you will notice an amp in the one that has a 220W plug. Cut the 220W cable and the little square reducer thingy off, and then you attach your batteries

[ngupta11354]

so it draws power from the mp3 player, this seems impossible.

[GoldenSlurpee]

@ngupta11354 It sends about 1.5v noob

[ngupta11354]

oh my god, you're SO cool. (as you can see my sarcasm doesn't carry well over to text)

[GoldenSlurpee]

@ngupta11354 yea. Hate it when ppl dont get it lol

[chrischoy9]

I just tried it 2 weeks ago! Yes, if you open the speakers that has the controls, you can find a thermal fuse or a transformer located on the A/C wire. I found out that out that the speakers I was had uses 8.5 volts. Just use an 9 Volt battery to power up the amplifier.

[kisloi]

lol it's noob speaker!

[funkyzul]

i do that using small speaker and i hear the song very slow, i still thinking how to attach battery to the speaker along with 1/8 jack?

[sijmenjan]

@funkyzul If you do that, you can say "goodbye" to your speaker!

[djlolypop]

dude u can make it better by puting both pairs like take the speaker out of the othere on and put with that one

[dq476]

@djlolypop.. you could but it would take more power, so therefore it probably wouldnt be as loud.

[djlolypop]

@dq476 get some 9.6 v rc battery pack then it would work look at one of my videos i made a speaker for my rc hummer

[AmazingDX]

Nah, no amplifier, no fun :/

[hardyzzone]

everyone has the same damn speaker lmao i even have a pair lol

[sebscaz]

@hardyzzone lol me too

[justkillen07]

dude i tryed it it works but i can barly hear it y is that?

[flame142]

You have aids, consult your doctor immediately.

[flame142]

What kind of a question is that?

I'll answer for you, a stupid one. Stupid people ask stupid questions.

Therefore, you are stupid.

[mick927]

your mama is stupid. WOAH NOI WAY!

[flame142]

My "mama" is dead. =(

[mick927]

The way we played scrabble last night, i guess she just couldn't handle life. =(

[oggys1]

You need a thing called Audio Amplifier aka amp... It amplifies(if i spelled right) sound, making the sound louder.

[taekwondoworld]

u mean anything what as a jack

[lordofwafflez]

gah, i dont see how this is so loud wth just the 1.5v from the audio jack...

[GladiatorGage]

but my speaker has a yellow wire in the speaker plugin

[Dylatron47]

I'm asuming that a 40watt speaker won't work lol

[gowtime]

what if the audio plug has 3 cables? i cutted my earphones (lol)

[kyleranden]

headphones are hard because, the wires have an outter texture that is hard to strip clean off the wire

[chav1nator]

i melted it off

[metalhad101]

+ right + left - (using the same)

[KayferProductions]

lol of course they have to have three... 1.5 for each.

[lordofwafflez]

you should just use the black and red, if there sint that color. i cant help ya

[drwhojan]

Mp3 players only have 1.5v power, the speekers would require 9v to make it loud

[aero915]

use a 9v battery then

[wtfadiin]

or buy a cheap crappy cordless drill, hook them battries up 2 them, firend has 4 battreys lasts ages n is pretty loud ( thier 12v each battrey could of got 18v but didnt )

[kyleranden]

no, the amp for the speakers require 9v :P

[aGroupa]

not amp, voltage

[dzionatanas]

that it works not so quietly ?

[dzionatanas]

when i connect to my phone samsung f400 it wont works , when to the mp3 philips gogear it works but quietly, what i shuld to do?

[aaronhendricks55]

i have the same problem, so i made it to where it can hook up to 3 speakers, 2 built in speakers, and my tv in one headphone jack... portable still, if i get a video camera i can show you guys...

[jonathan2rock]

i have the same speakers

i messed up and they blew up and cought on fire

[19minibowser90]

no they didnt

[jonathan2rock]

its because i didnt make them portable they neded to conect to the wall

[aaronhendricks55]

noob... use a hella va lotta resistors for that NOT to blow up your speakers, but dont worry, ive done worse, but it was on purpose... in the OMFG BOOOM catagory.

[sanluispotosi713]

the way u make it sound louder is to get a portable speaker from a store take out stock speaker then hook pc speaker to portable. then the sound is going to be great and loud

[dony95srl]

how can u make the speaker sound louder

[sk8erjoris]

the sound is so weak and ugly! and mono

[leroylvoetbal]

thnx for Warching!

Lol
