A True Set Of Manly speakers…

Exploring around the Instructables site, this self-amended gadget caught my eye – Munny Speakers.

The phenomenon of modifiable Munnys (“The Greatest Do It Yourself Toy”) has escaped my attention – perhaps the parents among you are already too familiar with these – but the application here is quite obvious.

“Give your speakers some extra personality by making them out of a vinyl doll. And when you are done with this sweet DIY your going to make a girl go ” Awwwww How Cute! ” The Kid Robot makes it easily hackable Munny doll, and I’ve been meaning to cut one up… ” The combined need for some new speakers created a happy union of doll and speaker ” writes fungus amungus.

“The vinyl that the Munny is made of is pretty firm when it’s at room temperature, but heat it up with a hair dryer or a heat gun and it softens up oh so nicely. After that the Xacto cuts through it like butter.”

BTW – sorry I can’t resist the plug – check out our recent guide to Digital technology and loudspeaker design. Featuring Bowers and Wilkins, and their $67,000.00 top-of-the-range Nautilus speakers, this covers slightly different territory to their Munnys.
