sexy speaker art ! !!

trigger · 09:15 PM

what do ya think?

the project was made over night for a collage art project, sadly it was denied as a "drawing", the amp is powered with a batt or wall-wart, the sound is ok for a vintage papercone stiffened up with glue and paint, not to mention no enclosure. the chassis was hot glued as a last minute as i ran out of time.
this project was inspired me to do a professional job on a speaker, can any one recommend a pure white 12''-18'' paper speaker? i can draw up some finer work with a bit more time, any ideas?
item for sale 99$ funds will go to the next project, help the DIYing!

anyone know of a good white speaker, something that would make a good canvas?
and should i stick with wax or try paint, latex?

Screenprint a thin coat of base colour onto a flat piston driver, then paint. Or just screen everything in a CMYK half-tone.

Have a look at this thread and see what Dave's using: It's not easy being green (apologies to Kermit)
Maybe he'll have some tips for you.

that's not what your browser history says

as John Hodgman says "you may [b] think you've erased it (history), but everything you do on the internet is recorded in multiple places forever, and I have the master copy"

I think he was kidding

weren't you John?

"you're welcome"
