How to make a column for a phone: from a column for a PC or tape recorder, a homemade column from a polypropylene pipe, a cardboard column for a phone with your own hands.

One of the most important features of modern smartphones is their ability to play various sounds. This allows you to view media files, turn on music or enjoy your favorite series by downloading it on the Internet in excellent quality. But sometimes the power of the phone’s speakers is not enough and you may need to connect an additional accessory - speakers.

You should not immediately go to the store for an expensive purchase, especially if the column is needed one or several times. It is quite possible to do it yourself, because this does not require the presence of special skills and in-depth knowledge in the field of technology. You will learn about what a column can be made from and what methods exist for this, in this article.

How to make a speaker for a phone from a speaker for a PC or tape recorder

The first way is a kind of transformation of a speaker for a computer or tape recorder into a portable one for a telephone. The advantage of such accessories is that they do not need to be plugged into a power outlet - that is why a telephone often requires a separate, portable device. It is convenient to carry, carry on trips or just use at home if you are far from a power source.

In this case, we take as a basis a device designed for a computer. Even the simplest one will do, and even more so if you have never done something similar before - the fewer parts inside, the easier it is to create a new unit.

First of all, you need to disassemble the accessory and solder the mains transformer and power cord. After this, it is necessary to mount a special charge controller in the "sole" - it can be purchased at any specialized store.

IMPORTANT! Be very careful not to cause any harm to the tracks - this will adversely affect the final result of the work.

You can glue the board using tape or special glue. After that, you need to get rid of the diodes - usually there are four, but a lot depends on the model of your original speakers. The power from the board should be soldered to the plus and minus of the diode bridge. Then you need to attach the circuit with a canopy on the wires to check the correct operation of the resulting device.

In the sole you also need to make a hole directly opposite the controller display. This way you can monitor the charge level.

ATTENTION! Charging such speakers is quite simple - using any USB output.

If the power is not enough, you can add more batteries. Portable speakers are ready!

Homemade polypropylene pipe speaker

Another method may be to use a polypropylene pipe as the basis.

To do this, you need to make a hole in the middle that resembles the number eight and get rid of the protruding elements that are formed. Now you need to solder the battery and speaker to the board. After that, a piece of aluminum foil or electrical tape should be glued to a fairly dense film - the choice is yours, any of these materials will probably be found at home for everyone.

Then you need to cut a circle with a diameter equal to the pipe and attach it with a resistant glue. This part of the future column is called a diffuser.

The next step will be the mandatory sealing of all contacts. Next, having connected all the details, you need to wind the speaker to the pipe using electrical tape. Now you need to strengthen everything with glue and conduct a full inspection of the resulting product.

When finished, be sure to check the operability of the device. If everything is in order, then you can safely start using it.

DIY cardboard speaker for phone

The column for your smartphone can also be made of cardboard, no matter how unsuitable this material may seem for such an undertaking.

An excellent option would be a toilet paper sleeve, so that the cardboard cylinder does not have to be done on its own.

The first step is to measure the side of the phone where the speaker is located. Then make a hole in the sleeve of exactly the same size. On the sides you need to attach two plastic glasses - these will be sound guides that will allow for better amplification.

In order for the cups to fit tightly on the cardboard, first carefully measure the size and cut a hole to the nearest centimeter.

IMPORTANT! If desired, you can use other cardboard items of suitable elongated shape or make a cylinder yourself. Cardboard in this case should be dense and strong.

After all the components have been fixed, the column is ready. It remains only to insert the phone into the resulting product and turn on the desired audio track.

Plywood column

Another simple way is to make a device using plywood. To do this, you first need to determine the size of the speakers and find a table of correspondence between the speakers and the speakers. All this information is easy to find on the Internet on thematic sites and forums.

Now you should calculate the dimensions of the future column. Mark the plywood sheet, and the speakers should have a drawing on the front side. Now you can cut the details out of plywood, and then treat them with sandpaper - the surface should be flat and smooth, without protruding notches.

Parts can be joined using a self-tapping screw. Mandatory sealing of a homemade device. Then you need to process the surface with paint for a more aesthetic appearance. The connecting wire is screwed to the desired connector, and on the other hand it winds up behind the back of the speaker and solders to the speaker terminals. Pay attention to the polarity.

The next step is to connect the speakers to the speaker housing. A loose cable stays inside. The accessory is ready!

Now you know several ways to make a speaker for the phone yourself. Thus, you can significantly save on the purchase of this accessory and enjoy listening to music or watching movies with the appropriate volume and in excellent quality. In addition, the manufacturing process will not take much time, nor will it be necessary to purchase a large number of additional materials.
