DIY Ipod Boombox

Don't go buy those lame Ipod speakers speakers! Follow these short steps and you could be playing your all the Public Enemy on your Ipod through your favorite old ghetto blaster. The best thing is that the boombox's analog play and stop cassette buttons turn the speakers on and it retains the am/fm radio functionality too!

Things you'll need:
1. Old Boombox
2. Mini jack wire (if you want to save six bucks just pull it out of an old pair of computer speakers)
3. Screwdriver
4. Soldering Iron

Now follow the wire from the cassette reader. The wire should split into a yellow, a red, and a silver one. Make a mental note of the position of each color (you'll be replacing them with a red, yellow and silver one from the mini jack wire)

You're now ready to solder in the Mini jack wire. You'll notice that the mini jack wire the same set up at the end of the wire a yellow , red, and silver coming out of the tail end of the wire. Solder these wires into the same spots you just removed the cassette reader wires from.

Now put the cassette reader back in place. Then plug the mini jack into your ipod and press play then press play on the boombox. OOOOOOH YEAH!
