Hi, tl
I'm trying to make some portable speakers for an anime convention coming up. I managed to solder myself a decent amp but I have no idea how to prepare the speaker itself. Has anyone here done this before? I am also thinking of just buying some portable speakers. Does anyone here know some good ones? I'm mainly looking for loudness without too much distortion. My budget is 100$ :'(

Couldn't you just buy some decent speakers?

I'm not going to be sure that I will have power jacks near me where ever I got at the convention so I would prefer to have some portable battery operated ones. But if it comes down to it, yeah, I'll prob get some normal speakers.

how loud do they need to be? there are tons of portable battery powered speakers available at any electronics store (bestbuy, etc). they wont sound great and they wont fill a stadium with sound though


if you only need it for the convention, I would suggest you go to guitarcenter and buy a roland ac33, which sounds great and is battery powered. you can even use it with a mic if you want (or guitar, but thats kind of random). its way out of ur budget, but u can return it in 30 days for a refund.

Why would you need power operated speakers if you got an amp? Just get some smallish monitor speakers and plug them in.

Nice.
Go to parts-express.com and order some cheap drivers there, the distortion is mainly gonna rely on the amp you use as long as you don't buy the absolute cheapest drivers. Depending on how efficient your amp is you can use 8 NiMH recharrgeable AA batteries which you can get at battery-mart for pretty cheap, or you could use a sealed led acid battery which are usually really heavy and irritating. The biggest problem would be the actual speaker enclosure itself, which you could build fairly easily out of 1/2 - 3/4 mdf wood. Alternatively you could find a yardsale with some cheap old speakers and use those boxes.
Hopefully this helps
Good Luck!
Going in circles.
