Anything involving wires usually scares off about half the DIY population. As guys, it’s something that should be embraced rather than feared. We’re not saying you need to get knee-deep in computer parts, but some basic work would be good for you. When it results in a new set of unique speakers too, well that’s just a bonus.
Russian Fire Extinguisher Speakers
You know those old Russian fire extinguishers you have lying around? What, you don’t have any? Well, go find some online or at a flea market and make these speakers that will do zero for saving your burning home but will look sweet in it. (Instructions)
iPod Speakers
You upgraded from that old iPod years ago but haven’t tossed it yet cause it’s an iPod, right? Instead leaving it in your desk drawer, repurpose it into a kick-ass speaker. Obviously, having two would be ideal here. (Instructions)
Altoids Tin Speaker
After you’ve freshened the shit out of your breath, take that Altoids tin and put it to good use. You’ll need a bit of know-how to pull this one off, but the result is a compact speaker that’s perfect for tossing in your pocket and rocking out on the go. (Instructions)
Munny Speakers
Keep the acrylic paint in the drawer and break out your X-Acto knife. Customizing these Munny’s isn’t about coming up with some new outfits, it’s about implanting speakers in their adorable little faces. (Instructions)

Jerry Can Speakers
We’re not saying to dump out that bit of gasoline you have left and make a kick-ass bonfire, but we’re not not saying that. Okay, just buy some new Jerry Cans (they’re not expensive) and craft yourself some of these portable music blasters. (Instructions)
