Building a Small Garage Speaker

Hello!
First off this is definitely not my best work, but was something thrown together because i wanted something to listen to while working on other projects.
This only has a 2 watt RMS lm380 based chip amp inside, but it gets loud enough most of the time.
This isn't going to be a full on Instructable, just some pictures and descriptions, if you want more details on something, lemme know but i think its pretty straight forward.
So, here we go.

Beggining Construction







Here's the construction of the box...

Power Supply + Finished Product




This is the power supply that I built mainly for powering this speaker, but now it's very useful for other things too.
Essentially it is the power supply shown in an earlier picture, but regulated and in a nice box!
All in all, I threw this together in a weekend. It isn't meant to be that great looking, just to play my music.
