Building Your Own Drivers?

Posted by Cliff on from the speakers!-not-hardware-interface-code dept.

students asks: "I want to cheaply demonstrate how speaker 'drivers' (the part that makes the noise, not software...also known as a cone) work, not to produce ideal sound. Some quick research has made it clear that it's easy to find directions on how to build a fancy speaker box, but not much on how to make a driver. Unfortunately, I can't use Sake. I also can't get the thin wood. Does anyone know how to build a driver out of home materials?"

    Hey, those instructions are from the school that Eminem's nemisis in "8 Mile," Papa Doc, attended.

    I didn't even know that place was real.
