Home Made Paper Plate Speakers?

If I were a better geek, I'd try this myself to see if this really works.

YouTube Description:

If MythBusters BUSTED it, why does mine work? I make a real working paper plate speaker for under $1.00, and show you how.

MythBusters busted it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya9ZsKyJRrE#t=4m4s

Music by http://www.danosongs.com (Gem Droids)
Project inspired by: Kipkay/MakeMagazine http://youtu.be/EIbzQ_8-aaM

The idea of making a speaker out of a paper plate is intriguing, and to do it for under a buck is even better.

How about a subwoofer?

Mythbusters bust a different project, which pretty obviously would never work and didn't really need busting. This project is awesome though. I love how he scavenges the wiring--a really creative solution. Hotglue FTW!

I think that magnet costs a little more than $1.

Exactly, a bit disingenuous to say he un busted the myth. He demonstrated you can make a speaker for that money, but it is neither 'hi def' (the original claimed that) nor anything you'd actually want to use.

And to be fair, you can pick up reasonable speakers for a buck from garage sales, trash and treasure... all over the place.

Still, it's a nice little science demonstration of the basics of a speaker.
