/diy/ - Do It Yourself

This isn't a hard project at all, but I'm mildly proud of thinking of it
I found a cheap ($5) speaker at Goodwill that was actually decent quality and decided to bring it home
I also had a cheap old bluetooth speaker (an HMDX Jam Classic if you care) at home
I got curious and wondered if the bluetooth base could drive a regular speaker, and it turns out it can.
So I removed the original speaker and replaced it with a short length of speaker wire, and ran that to the goodwill speaker (standard speaker hookup, two wire clamps) and it actually drives it at a reasonable volume (I only listen to it in my room, so it's not a big deal if it can't go super loud) and sounds really good (compared to the tiny driver it had originally)

tl;dr I made a speaker into a bluetooth speaker by gutting a cheap bluetooth speaker
