Speaker Box Construction

The base of the Cigar Box Music Player is obviously the cigar box. I used an old cigar box and sanded down all the surfaces to a smooth finish. Next I used spray paints to color the inside and outside of the speaker box.

I also drew a diagram of the box in four different views and its dimensions. Then comes the cardboard insert that holds the speakers and amplifier circuit. Using measurements from the inside of the box, I was able to measure and cut this piece to fit securely. Next, holes were cut so the speakers could poke through. I cut mine in a sort of diamond shape and then hot-glued the speakers to the underside of the cardboard.
