How to make a Homemade Speaker

This video shows how to make a speaker using paper, magnets, wire, and hot glue.

My 8 years old had made this following your instruction and it worked really well. Excellent instructions.

Well it really works for me, nice one. I made a bigger one using neodymium magnets.

[@angktrl]

Cool now a person four year later has a question... how is the quality of this speaker ? I can't really understand or be reliable from a video about sound quality. So if I can hear your own opinion I would be glad

[@vote4nicki533]

@@angktrl it's probably really really really shitty. Of course he probably had access to better materials than this. This is meant to be more of a science experiment rather than to make an actual speaker, it works tho which is honestly really cool. If you want a good speaker, chances are you can probably go to goodwill and find one

[@MyAddad]

How many turns of wire and where do you get the magnets from, and does it matter about the polarity of the magnets ? Great job by the way......

[@OverEngineered]

The exact number of turns is not very important. I did about 20-30. I've had the magnets that I used for a few years and can't remember exactly where I got them. They likely came out of something that I took apart. The polarity of the magnets does not matter. Thanks!

[@MyAddad]

Thanks for the information, very useful....... Great video.....

[@philyrics6104]

@@OverEngineered you should have atleast 4ohms impedance of the coil for it to be safer with amplifier

[@jctheexplorertv]

you can make it eve in a plastic cup so that it will produce a larger sound, specially the cone shape, the longer the cone shape, the larger the sound it will make. :-)

[@abeginnerspov5968]

Larger means? Deeper or richer or louder?

For people saying there is something wrong, you have to wrap the coil correctly you can't just slap it on an call it done

[@niladridas4006]

Hi, I made a very similar one but the sound is very low and after using an amplifier only the noise increased. The sound isn't audible from even a meter away. I have used 20 windings, and 3 neodymium magnets. Do you have any suggestions?

[@lenechris65]

ik i might be a bit late, but you’ll need many more windings than that, like 70, and you’re also gonna need more power

[@lenechris65]

yeah its probably the power you need more of

[@techzen1935]

How many rounds of copper did you took around that magnet ???..

[@ozapenguin]

Could I just cut the 3.5mm jack from broken headphones and connect it to the copper wire, then plug it into my phone?

[@OverEngineered]

The only reason that would not work well, if at all, is because the signal coming out of a phone is fairly weak. You need a strong signal for a crude speaker like this to produce sound. That is why I used a powerful stereo system amplifier.

[@ozapenguin]

Would you need a less stronger signal if you used more coils or a bigger magnet?

[@OverEngineered]

A stronger magnet might help some. But, the best thing to do if you have a weak signal is make the speaker very small. For example, the 3.5mm jack from a phone is made for powering headphones which are small speakers. You need to amplify the signal from a phone if you want to use speakers bigger than headphones.

[@ozapenguin]

Is the size in the video too big for a phone to power it?

[@OverEngineered]

Yes

[@moonbright7373]

Do you have to burn the end of the magnet wire for it to work?

[@mrnac5]

Indy IFA the wire you have to use is coated kinda like a regular wire with rubber/plastic on it, but instead of rubber/plastic it’s coated with a very thin layer of non conductive material, so when he burns the ends he’s taking off that coating so it’s conductive and he can make a connection.

[@mr.flowjay6544]

I have some questions. 1: does the gauge of ur wire matter? and what would you reconmmend 2: Can you having multiple magents to power speaker?

[@wearefromserbia9714]

i was wondering the same "can you use more magnets?" as far as i have seen its all ok if they are stacked on top of each other and if they are of course the same size as for the thickness of wire i think its 0.2mm (idk what gauge is that) i have seen 10 inch speakers using same 0.2mm wire, so i guess every speaker pretty much uses same vires, but you should watch out how much ohms does your speaker have before putting it into an amp. You should probably look towards 4ohms as most amps support it. But i couldn't find how can you calculate how much ohms will the vires have I hope i helped you

[@alextorres3210]

Bro el cobre adecuado lo sacas de un motor de reproductor dvd (traen en las bobinas dentro de los motores ) usas al menos uno de los imanes no hace falta tantos con uno es suficiente y el marco lo haces con carton o algun otro material que puedas darles detalles diminutos. luego el diafragma eso es lo interesante para eso usas film aluminio y haces un molde con alguna especie de porcelana o masilla para darle la forma de diafragma al film de aluminio con eso haces un driver de headphones eso si antes como dijo el amigo del anterior comentario controlas la cantidad de ohms deben ser aproximadamente 32 ohms saludos!

[@hectolonger7162]

Where can I buy those materials in a store?

[@mythnokthewolfbat]

might need this for robot repairs aka have wires goin to this if it works

[@jctheexplorertv]

Just make the magnet moves freely back and forth so that it can vibrate and make sounds

You need a decently powerful amplified signal for the speaker to work. Your signal may be too weak.
