Set of Munny Speakers - Done

cheffanxx · **Posted:** Sat Jan 12, 2008 3:04 am

Not sure if this has been done yet but I'm going to turn two munnies into a set of speaker for my MP3 player. This is my first crack at customizing and its so much fun!

I'm using a set of Creative Inspire T3100 speakers. The amp and the power are both housed in the subwoofer so the main speakers actually take up very little room. Plus, it was on sale for $19.99 after rebate! $\:D/$

Here's what I've done so far.

Speaker, meet Munny. Munny, speaker

Speaker disassembled. The right speaker also houses a volume knob. Luckily, it all fits

A couple hours of drilling, cutting and soldering later, I've managed to run the wires through the back of my Munny's head and reattach the speakers. Freaked out at first because the I wasn't getting any sound but it turns out there are a couple of wires twisted and crossed. Fixed and it works great!

Will post more pics of my progress. Let me know what you think!!

Here's the finished product. Enjoy. I know I will

Good idea, there have been alot of people sticking speakers into various things. The shop I buy my stuff at has 2 different speaker "Toys".

Finally got the components to stay put in the head. Drilled a hole in the back for the volume knob, hot glue gunned the electrical board to the inside of the head and screwed in the speaker.

Gave the speaker its first sound check in its new home and WE HAVE LIFT OFF!

Started painting the second speaker as well.

That is SWEET! Keep up the good work! :prayer:

I finally got the speaker molded into the head. Took a whole lot of sanding to get it to a smoothness I'm happy with.

Need to do a little bit more touch-up with a fine sand sponge but its almost time to prime and paint!

looking good! i know a few of us have had a go at some kind of speaker-munny combination. i had a go at the beginning of last year (for Munny Shot)... shadowunkle - wasn't your speaker-munny at Munny Shot too?

earphones in Munny's ears, mini-jack as a belly-button... "Mini-Jack"

That's pretty hot! I don't think I'm artistic enough to do something like that. Do the earphones actually work?

I'm not at home today so I can't work on the Munny. so sad. Customizing munnies is crack!!

'fraid this guy was sold at Munny Shot.

earphones do work, yep. though obviously the volume is rather low... couldn't source any small enough powerful speakers though, at least not in the UK. i do keep checking electronic shops every so often though.

cheffanxx - i'm looking forward to seeing the next step for your munny!

Looks awesome so far. I might have to come up with some kind of munny speakers for my macbook now.

Dragonflower · **Posted:** Sun Jan 13, 2008 4:27 pm

Looks pretty cool so far! Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished! Nice work so far! :rock:

You're telling me!!! I can't wait to work on it more but I live in a small apt in NY and its been raining out! I HAVE NOT PLACE TO PRIME THE DAMN THING without suffocating to death!

may be a small price to pay... I'm as desperate for some action as you are!

Thanks for the support though!

frequentwash · **Posted:** Tue Jan 15, 2008 12:57 pm

ha! you should have seen me this last weekend... tipping it down with rain, so i was holding a munny out the window and spray-priming him. my window opens like a cat-flap, so was acting like an awning. fingers crossed it stops raining soon!

Lol Im dying to work on my munny custom as well...but I needed to wait 24 hours for my first paint coat to dry and then I still need to wait for my milliput epoxy to come in the mail #-o

waiting when you want to work/paint is painful

I know I know, try not even having a blank MUNNY to work on! I don't have any U.O.s around here so I have to order them, One's in the mail, and that's my Big Daddy (which is my main proj.) THEN me and a friend are creating a line of WOW MUNNYS which means we have to order like 6-9 MUNNYS, why doesn't SAM'S CLUB sell MUNNYS in like packs of 100!?

Better post the Big Daddy munny! I love Bioshock. My next one was either going to be a Big Daddy or Kratos from God of War. I guess I'll give Kratos a go to avoid repetition.

Looks like a sweet start. I'm brand new here, but I'll post my pics of speakers I did just last week. Looking forward to seeing them all done.
