Home-Made speaker Test 1 !

Hey all, I found a cool method to build a speaker ! Just search after “kipkay” on youtube, you’ll surely find it

And it’s quite cool too. This is what I did :

• Made a coil on some scrap paper
• Glued the coil on the plastic plate
• Built some suspensions from scrap paper which will sustain the plate and coil
• Put some magnets in the center of this coil while allowing it to move freely vertically

The result wasn’t as I was expecting, and I immediatly noticed the problem : the coil has a low resistance , meaning that it lacks of wire.

Well, anyway it had sound and also at full bass the plate was moving up and down, cool . At some point the coil began smoking. Here are some pictures and a video(smoking) with it :

HDD activity LED mod

I modified my case a little with some components. Know the red light that flashes when the HDD is in use ? Well, I deconnected that led and added 2 blue leds with some circutry. That’s because I wanted the mto slowly fade away.

Here’s the video : 

And here’s how to hook the pieces so you can do this thing too :
