This is my speaker (more of a subwoofer) that i made from scratch out of:

a shoebox
3 donut shapped ceramic magnets from a microwave
190ft (about) of 30gauge magnet wire
an old tee-shirt
a styrofoam plate
hot glue and lots of it!

it is connected to a crappy radio that does put out much electrical current but it gets the job done.

surprisingly it doesnt get hot at all when running full volume and i havnt yet felt any heat on it after running it for extended periods of time. so i would like to hook it up to something a little more powerful just to see how it is effected

rate, comment, subscribe! any advice as how to make the speaker better or any ideas are welcome.

  • @austinpetemo is the bass clear?

  • do you know if it would work with some guitar hero mic?

  • If you put a cone where the hole is it will be like 5 times louder

  • does they coil get hot

  • @partymonster831 And I said it's not a BassReflex, 'cause there's a hole in the membrane itself....

  • @partymonster831 Mind you own bussines, And yes, I made a better one too... And this wasn't, isn't AND WILL NOT BE BassReflex box... Also good thing for you, that here's no IQ's...

  • @MegaMultiX your a little stupid. I doubt you could do this on your own, obviously this was just some cool random project for the guy and its pretty neat. Also there is a whole in the side of the box. How you did not see it is beyond me but this truly shows your ignorance. Good thing there is no IQ test required to have an account on Youtube.

  • You're a little stupid. The speaker hasn't vioce coil in the middle, 'cause the "membrane" isn't moving same on all spots on the plate, and "bouncing" is called EXCURSION! Why did you make a hole in the middle of the plane!? You could make a bass reflex box out of that if the plate was without the hole, and if you made a hole in the box

  • considering what you worked with u did well :)
