How to make your very own coffee can sounds system using only duck tape and a few pocket knifes.

So the first step is to remove the original speaker casing.
As you can see I used a flat head screw driver to open it up.

MAKE SURE ITS NOT TURNED ON!!

The Gear

After all that you should be left with just two speakers and the volume control circuit.

Hole Punching

I punched holes in either side of the can where the speakers are going to go. This will ensure that maximum sound will leave the can.
Also punch a hole where the volume knob will go.

Speaker Placement

I placed the speaker at the bottom of the can face out. I folded cardboard and duck taped it together to make a spacer so that the speakers would stay in place. Then I put in the foam from the old speakers to act as a dampener.

Insulation

I cut out some foam and cardboard to as an insulator between the speakers and the circuit board.

Running Cable

Next I cut a hole for the wires to run out of so that the lid could go back on.

Turn on and Listen.
