Coffee Cup Speaker

In this instructable you will learn how how to a make great speaker out of a coffee cup. This speaker will connect through a headphone jack and is very good for playing songs for friends loudly. This will produce more sound than just putting a headphone in a cup and will only cost you about a dollar more. Credit to fungus amungus and some others that have made stuff like this for the idea. I hope you find this helpful and please vote for me in the coffee cup contest.

Take the end of the wire and stick it in the hole and pull it all the way through. Once it is all the way through attach it to the bottom I used glue but tape works too. Now you are done so stick it into your music playing machine and have fun.
