Darren's Drive-In Speakers
« on: May 15, 2022, 04:51:59 PM »
Not saber related, but I thought you folks might be interested.  Those of you that are with me on Facebook have probably seen them.

Our local drive-in theater closed down in 2019.  I managed to connect with the owners and buy up a bunch of the old speakers and junction boxes.  I have been going through the process of restoring them, and making tabletop drive-in speaker stands with them.  I put a Bluetooth receiver in them, and a white LED that shines through the downlight hole.  They operate on 12V, so you can run them with a wall adaptor, or from your car's accessory plug.  I have built a few full height ones as well.  I'm working on a set for myself that will have an FM receiver as well, so I can take it to the drive-in that is still running in a nearby city, and stand it next to the car and listen to the movie through it.

Here are a few that I have made.

I have another really cool one that I need to take some pictures and video of.  I'll share it when I do.

Nice work.

As you may have noticed, I had the droids create a gallery for you and all of your past and future works, whatever they are (since you’ve branched out).

Carry on.  :kegger:
