I was thinking this speaker would be just about right for what I'm doing:ģ" x 5" Ribbed Paper Cone Shielded Woofer SpeakerĪt $1.50 + about $6.50 in shipping, it's hard to beat, especially if I source the rest of my parts from Parts Express or the local Radio Shack. I realize a speaker designed specifically for guitar would probably be better, but the two goals are to exceed the quality of sub-$20 computer speakers and/or save money. If so, can anyone recommend a very simple and inexpensive amp schematic? Given my limited knowledge, would I be able to build a power amp cheaply and effectively? (I already have the basic tools, including a 40w soldering iron, plenty of solder and wire, and wire cutting/stripping tools.)ģ. Would I be better off just buying a set of computer speakers, assuming I limit the cost of the speakers to under $20?Ģ. I have no idea how to build a power amp, and can barely read an electronic schematic, but I do enjoy the process, and could use another cheap, late night project.ġ. I know very little about electronics, and my experience is limited to wiring guitars. The POD already functions as a preamp, for anyone unfamiliar with it. And I was thinking that since I'm building an enclosure anyway, it might be better just to build a VERY simple little power amp and use a speaker with more than a 1-2" diameter. However, having recently built another (very humble and simple) passive speaker enclosure, I already have a number of supplies, like speaker cloth, vinyl covering and a few miscellaneous jacks and capacitors. (I have a POD X3 Live I use most of the time.) I was considering buying a cheap set of computer speakers and mounting them with the POD in an enclosure. I have an old POD 2.0 that's been sitting in the garage for more than a year, and I had the idea to turn it into a practice amp.
