Blue Tooth Speakers

For my project I wanted to work with speakers, but it seemed to simple and so I thought that it would be really neat to do a wireless speaker system. I always wanted wireless speakers but they wore all really expensive and I did not like how they look. By creating my own wireless speaker I can assure that the aesthetics that I like are there.

The wireless speakers system will consist of the fallowing

  • two 20 watt 4 Ohm speakers (4 inch diameter car speakers)
  • 20 watt audio amplifier
  • 1K potentiometer (volume control)
  • 12V,5A power supply
  • bluetooth audio receiver
  • on off switch
  • wood (not sure yet)

Aside fromΒ making a custom box for the speaker and amplifier components,Β I would like to add a twist by integrating a hologram. This is what will distinguish the speaker system to the others. At the moment I am just going to use my tablet and create supports Β (not sure how yet). The idea to the hologram is to make it futuristic and instead of having LCD displays all of your information on a hologram. Due to time it will only display figures.

There are plenty of challenges to complete this project that I will try my best to achieve. This project will need the fallowing skills;

  • wood working
  • some knowledge about audio amplifier
  • there are also a few electronic components
  • finding all the right components

I will be using A lot of the CU and online resources that we have.Β  I will be seeking help from Dan and Tim in the ITLL.

There are three critical components that I will be working on. the first is making sure that all of the components work on the amplifier. The second critical componentΒ is to create a working hologram and then integrate it into the design. Lastly create the boxes for the amplifier and speakers.

It is very difficult to create a timeline for this project but it will be done by the expo.

  • Order materials 2/22/2016 (audio amplifier, 2 speakers, potentiometer, 12V,5A power supply)Β Estimated cost of $150
  • Prototype holograms (I have been prototyping on the holograms and will have my 3rdΒ design done by the end of this week)
  • Create a working speaker system (sound)
  • make it wireless
  • add off on button
  • integrate hologram into design of the speaker boxes
  • create the speaker box system
