Make Your Own Low Budget Bluetooth Music System
In this project I will show you how I "fused" a dirt cheap bluetooth music receiver with an old speaker of mine. The main focus will be on designing a low cost audio amplifier circuit around the LM386 and the NE5534. The bluetooth receiver costs 4,5$ and the audio amp 3$. So you can call this low budget.
Watch the Video!
The video gives you all the info you need to build this project. But in the next steps I will present you my part list and my schematics to make things easier.
Get the Bluetooth Receiver And/or Your Premade Amp!
No matter which circuit you want to build, you will need at least the receiver. Here is where I got mine from (affiliate links):
Bluetooth music receiver:
Ebay:http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?...
Amazon.de:http://amzn.to/1nVWXIa

And if you do not want to build the amp circuit by yourself, you can always buy a premade kit. Here is a nice one (affiliate links):

Build Your Circuit!
Here you can find the schematic for the LM386 and the NE5534. You can also use the board design that I made. I used this as well and it works perfectly fine.
Success!
You did it. Now you can enjoy the awesome music of your homemade audio amp .
