Paint Can Speaker

What does a paint can, an old speaker, and skateboard trucks have in common? They all come together to make one cool speaker. I hope to convert this to a Bluetooth speaker later on.

Get a Paint Bucket, Remove the Label and As Much of the Paint Residue As You Can.

I got this speaker from an old RCA boombox that was going to be trashed. It's really not all that difficult to find an old speaker.

Poke Holes All Around the Top of Your Can.
