Kirby Meets Audio sometime I feel like just buying the spare parts on eBay, like the jbl charge with all the amps, battery’s, and charging port and make my own box and speaker to build my own Bluetooth speaker, with all the features it has already like adding a app and make it stereo. On another note, if you do hack up the home pod, used all those part and add it to your own home pod build. So that we don’t see anything go to waste.

Btw. The extra magnet is not for shielding purposes. It's for changing the parameters slightly. Or in other words it's a cheap way to change the speaker a little. Electronics don't care about magnet field. The passives are for the class-d output and for enough buffering for the power supply.

Wow!!! Best video I have seen so far for stripping down an Amazon Echo 2nd generation. I bought two from a seller on Ebay. They fire up but neither transmit any Wi-fi to your router to enable a connection to them. Reason being is that whom ever bought them originally never connected them to their Wi-fi. Why would anyone do that though?!! So, I was considering making a video myself of a strip down. What video editor do you use by the way? Found the music annoying at either end but hey!!! Loved the video and thank you.
