My iHome alarm clock died recently and I scavenged the speakers from it. I've been wanting to build this little project for a while, and the speakers came at the perfect time. I hopped on EBay and found a nice little Bluetooth amp that is powered by any 12v source. Then it was just about finding a box.
This is by no means a one and done project. It's just a quick throw together, kind of a proof of concept to make sure that it works before dropping money on some more quality parts. In hindsight, the Matilde Renacer Box is too small, leaving the sound a bit tinny, but I love the hinged lid on it. All in all, I only have $20 in this one, so I'm happy with it for right now. Plans for a bigger and better one soon!
