How to make a speaker out of household materials. This is still a work in progress and I will add more photos soon.

Supplies

These are the materials I used

28 AWG Enameled Copper Wire

10x10 mm neodymium magnet

Cheap car amplifier, or Pam8406

Soldering iron and solder

Paper

Cut a circle out of paper with a compass. Fold paper into cone shape. Cut small strip of paper and tape around magnet. Hot glue magnet and paper to paper cone.

Wrap lots of wire around paper cylinder(around 15 times),and hot glue to paper, leaving 2-3 inches on each end. Melt off the enamel from both ends of the wire

I just connected the ends of the speaker coil to the wires of the amplifier, but you can also solder it to a pam8403 board if you want. With the car amplifier, you get bluetooth and a screen, but if you don't need that, an amplifier board works fine
