Make Your Own Hi-Def Speakers

**copyless** · 28 Apr 2009, 12:08 PM

Did you see this on mythbusters, or check out the whole video on youtube, reason I ask is because this idea was busted on the program and also acknowledged at the end of the video. But I guess you're really not out anything when it doesn't work, you can put the penny back in your pocket and still use the paper plate, and put the mini jack back on whatever you took it from. Just please do not buy the mini jack as I believe you will be dissapointed when nothing happens, if you actually put money into it.

Have you tried it copyless?

Looks creative. Thanks jmet.

Wasn't you that had an idea about extending a router or something like that?

It's great to see you back on, at least so we can see you.

Just on mythbusters they proved it not possible to work. IMHO no way possible for it to work, except to blow up your audio card. Since there is no positive or negative terminals there is no way for this to work. A speaker needs a coil and a magnet to make the cone of the speaker to move.

you can extend the wireless range by using third party firmware for selected routers...

or can make wirekless repeater out of ur own crappy old router.

Hi-Def Speakers from paper plate, foil, shiny penny.

I have a bridge for sale, real cheap~

No I didn't actually try it, but the key components of a speaker are missing, the voice coil and a magnet to react to the electrical impulses on the coil.

One I have tried is with a styrofoam plate, magnet, and coil wire. This one works, but only as an experiment, it will not actually produce the sound quality to replace your speakers, but will give the basis of a working speaker.

Sounds like if you cut down the foil and used a toilet paper roll instead of the plate you might be able to make a kazoo anyway.

Yep...I used an old router as a wireless repeater and/or bridge using third party firmware (DD_WRT) and a Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GL (can't remember exact model) router.
