So, since I've needed a set of external speakers for my ipod, I decided to make one. This Instructable just takes minutes after you get materials.

Things Needed

These are the things you will need:

1. Old earbuds or really cheap ones from wal-mart
2. Empty gum box. Just take out the gum and the weird studd that keeps the gum in,
3. Tape
4. MP3 player

How To

The first thing you need to do is take off the plastic covering off of your earbuds to the best extent.

Next, you need to pop holes in the gum box with a needle so sound can get out.

You may need to also cut a hole so the jack can get through to your MP3 player.

After all of that, stick your jack through the hole and put in the headphones.

Tape the headphones on the circular holes.

Close the box w/ tape.

Info

This is a cheap way to get speakers for your music player. I am going to try and make a case/speaker system for the nano and how to install rockbox.
