Quick and dirty speaker mounting for cigar box amps

By John, 14 January, 2012

I just put up a quick page on how to mount a speaker to a cigar box if you are making a cigar box amplifier. All you need is a drill, a couple of bits, a screwdriver, and pliers.

As you can see, you drill the holes in the box to make the speaker grille you want to have. Then mount the speaker to the box with machine screws and nuts.

(If you don't have any machine screws and nuts around the house, believe it or not Home Depot has half a wall of machine screws and nuts in little baggies, you just get the size you need. I got 1 inch screws so I knew there wouldn't be any problem with the length. These screws are 6-36 screws, if you are using a different diameter of screw then you would use a different diameter of drill bit for the screw holes.)

Speaking of Newt and music. He was just sued for violating copyright laws with the song "Eye of the Tiger". Was he supporting getting tough on pirates and infringers?
