Building a Passive Speaker for Your Phone

This is a very easy how to. You can do it for nearly every type of phone with a speaker.
You donĀ“t need any electronics or solder iron.
It works and you can fill the room with sound of your mobile!

What You Need

You need some copper plumbing parts.
A piece of wood for the base plate.
A paper funnel.
Some glue for paper and metal.
Some two component clay.
A brass screw

Preparing the Paper Funnel

Cut the end of the paper funnel and glue the copper part on it.
Use wax stain to colour it. Wax stain gives the paper a wooden finish.
I stained it two times and I used a shoe brush to polish it.

Preparing the Tubes and the Cradle for the Mobile

Use metal glue to glue the pipes together in that form you like.
For the cradle I used a piece of aluminium.
I drilled a hole in the aluminium profile so the sound of the phone will go trough the hole. See picture 2 and 4.
I flattened a piece of copper pipe so that it fits inside the Aluminium profile.
Than I used two component clay to fasten it.
At least I drilled a hole in the tube for fasten it on the stand.

Mounting Everithin Together

I the glue is hardened you can mount it one the piece of wood you have chosen as the base plate.
Attach the phone and enjoy the music. :-)
