AI Thread Summary
To build high-quality speakers using four rare earth magnets, it's essential to consider the coil design and cone material. Suggestions include utilizing guides from the internet and materials available at RadioShack. A potential idea is to use the concave bottom of large soda containers as a cone, supported by foam, with a magnet attached at the center. The discussion also raises the question of whether a moving coil design is necessary or if a moving magnet approach could simplify the process. Overall, the focus is on achieving excellent mid-range sound quality for a surround sound speaker system.

Homework Statement


We have to make a speaker with 4 rare Earth magnets, and whatever materials we can buy or find . How to make the coil? What should we use for the cone of the speaker? Our ideas are to create a 5.1 or 2.3 surround sound speaker system with excellent mid-range sound quality.

The Attempt at a Solution


Using guides off the internet and materials from radio-shack to create the speakers.

Did the assignment say the speaker had to be moving coil?
Would it be easier to make if the magnet was moving?


I don't know if this would work, but the bottom of some large soda drink containers is thin plastic, it is very strong and it is concave. If you supported the sides of this (after cutting it off the bottle) on soft foam and glued a magnet to the centre of it, maybe you could attract the magnet with a coil wound on some soft iron.
