Bluetooth Retro Yard Sound

I wanted some groovy speakers for my yard. And they are Bluetooth.

I found these drive in speakers on ebay.

I harvested an old floor lamp base and removed the old wiring. The based had everything I needed. A weighted base and hollow post. Then painted it to match the galvanized color and texture of the speakers.

I soldered standard speaker connectors to the speakers. At this point I was not sure how I was going to plug them into a source. These connectors gave me flexibility.

Figuring out how I was going to hang them was the biggest puzzle. I wanted something that would be weather tight because I will be leaving these outside. I ended up using a plastic electrical box. It was originally blue but I painted it to match and added a metal bracket to the top.

The wiring is hidden down the tube.

I found a Bluetooth receiver online that I can just plug directly into the speakers.

The sound is great. Now I need a projector so I can watch movies in the yard.
