AWESOME speaker setup for my Nook

[DiscoPh3v3r]

Okay, so I think it's pretty much been proven that the box the nook color came in is probably one of the best product boxes... ever. And I came to show you why it is indeed absolutely amazing.

This is the time you go to look at the pictures, I attached

And now I tell you what I did:
1. Ripped apart my old external speakers
2. Made sure the speakers still worked, fixed them where they needed them
3. Cut 3 holes in my NookColor box
4. Placed speakers in 2 of the holes and ran the headphone jack through the other one.
5. Put the "motherboard", controls, and power source in bottom of box.
6. Win.

This is mainly for watching movies either on netflix or on my sd card, then it's also major win for when I play SNESoid, PSXoid, or N64oid. This is literally like having a tv(a small one). But I can also stand up my nook when I want to listen to music, but I don't really store music on my nook. Use my android phone for that.

Does anyone else think this is awesome????

Cool idea! I might try this out.

Very clever, I like it.

Yes, it is awesome. Good job. Cardboard actually sounds pretty good sound for building speaker cases.

I know I was quite impressed. There was very little to no(noticeable) distortion of any kind. Only problem is low quality speakers = lots of grain. But I would never do this to expensive speakers so I am okay


EDIT: I fixed the grain by messing with the Nook Tweaks App by dalingrin + using electric tape instead of packaging tape

Try googing 'infinite baffle'; you really should have made larger holes for the speakers so all of the rear facing cone was inside the box. Otherwise you get sound waves of opposite phase cancelling out, or otherwise distorting, the sound from the forward facing cones.

This is a neat idea for Barnes and Noble's Nook Color 2 implementation.

Yeah when I was installing the speakers I was actually thinking about that(I didn't know the term though). But for now I have the speakers like this because I have yet to find a real solution to their problem, I need to soder(spelling?) on the connections. Right now, I either have it wrapped around the connection or taped on. I'm scared something might break if I push them in as is.

That is a neat idea and actually makes for a pretty cool little stand.

btw it is spelled solder.

Yeah I saw other people modifying there's like painting it, adding a charging cable in it. So I got the idea for movie stand and decided to try it out, so thanks!


And hanks for the spelling tip as well, I have been pronouncing it "saw-der" since I first saw the word in 5th grade. (I used to be in the PSP hacking scene. Modifying batteries that would allow you to essentially "root" your PSP.) So when I needed to spell it I completely forgot about the "l".

Awesome!!! Got me thinking about a nice speaker setup

 

[Cunorix]

Totally agreed. It IS the best product box ever. I set it up on my desk at work and can slide it in and out for when I need to use it. Not to mention the magnetic shut, and solidity of the box...is there anything the Nook Color isn't amazing with?

Edit: I just figured out you can use the box as a stand too. I was wondering what that slit at the bottom was....I feel like a 'tard. ><

That is pretty original.... I like it!

Sent from MIUI'ed Nookie Color! Love the Nookie!

 

[mohcho]

Looks great! Where's the subwoofer?

 

[extravillager]

are those speakers powered solely by the nook's 3.5mm Jack?

 

[hacku]

Good idea, but we can tell that fabrication isn't one of your strong suits...lol

 

[Great_Bizarro]

Loosely pack some fiber fill like from inside a pillow inside the speaker inclosure (behind the speakers) It should knock down the tinney sound somewhat.

 

[DoctorScience]

Lol, this is a tad bit ridiculous, but cool nonetheless.

THat is freakin awesome man....very creative
