I found a pair of speaker pods in the garage and wanted to fire them up and see what the could do alas that want to be as they were truly broke.
So anyway I went ahead pulling them apart and seeing if i could put something new inside. I kind of forgot to take pics at the start but here we go anyway.
What was in there
I damaged the surround as it had sealed itself to the grill section of the speaker, the voice coil was all jammed up too.
Again no before pic but there is two bits of plastic that i took down with my dremel. One was were the cable goes in and out of the pod and the other was from the forming of the plastic. The other crap you see is the poly fill and glue that held it.
Now for some new speakers HiVi B3S Fullrange speakers.
beside the old pos
Now then its a very tight fit I had to coax it in with a bit of force and because the original speakers used non standard mounting dimensions i need to retrofit these speakers.
Holes made, I also shave a small amount off of the grill piece poles to match the thickness of the face of the speaker so it'll be sandwiched in.
Plastidipped the interior of the pods
Put in the poly fill
And in with the speakers
Now for some final shots with the speakers all wired up, the awesome little stand/mounts for the pods and finally with it hooked up to my portable 2x15watt amp
Pretty happy with how the whole thing turned out. Sound is pretty good for 3" speakers in a pos enclosure, when i feel properly motivated i will properly seal the speakers off and deaden behind them fully. But for now they'll do for a bit of portable fun at work.
