Have you made or used a passive phone speaker amplifier like this one? There are lots of designs out there - let us know in the comments if you have a favorite!

Is it gonna work if we make it using sunboard or cardboard.

[@ArtisansAndArthropods]

I think it would probably still be a noticeable boost in sound but not quite as nice as using a more solid material. After all, a plastic party cup will work to some extent. One thing to maybe think about is whether the sunboard or cardboard would be heavy enough for the phone to sit in there and not tip the amplifier over. Let us know how it works out if you give it a shot!

Thanks for the video. Looks like a nice Christmas gift project.

Thanks for watching! In hindsight I'd have made the hole smaller for aesthetic reasons. I gotta admit though that the one made in the video is quite loud! I use it in the shop all the time for audio books and music. Have a great one!

You just filled my head with ideas, Thank you.

Very happy to hear it! There are a lot of variations of this design. It's definitely a good idea to consider where your phone's speaker is before choosing one. The ones we sell on Etsy have a double channel design to accommodate a wider range of phones. Thanks for watching!

I have to do something like this for school… very useful!

Glad it helped and thanks for watching! You can get away with a lot of different designs.
