The portable speaker system consists of:
1. Two (12 volt) computer speakers
2. One 'Amplifier' that came in the original speaker case
3. One rechargeable, 12 volt, lead acid battery (7 amps)
4. One power switch
5. Two shoelaces that act as handles so I can carry it around with me
6. A massive amount of bright red duct tape
5. And last but not least, one very stylish USPS cardboard box


What you'll want to do once you have all the materials is to take apart the computer speakers so you're left with 2 speakers and an "amplifier".

Then arrange your battery, speakers, and "amplifier" in the box using a massive amount of super glue and duct tape.

Cut and strip the power wire that came with the computer speakers. Hook up the DC connector from the computer speakers to the battery.

Solder 2 more wires to the battery and have them going outside the box so you can charge the battery later with out opening the box back up.

Also, cut a few holes for the volume/power button/audio line.

Once that is all done, charge your battery and you're ready to go!
