This project demonstrates an easy modification of a speaker in order to produce a media cabinet that may be used for shelving DVDs, NES games, and other stuffs just like those shown in the images below. It involves removing the black exterior of an old speaker as it exposes the hardware. Some of the materials that may be of use in repurposing the speaker include a circular saw, sheet of plexiglass, strong adhesive, and hinges.

The speakers used contains no visual damages and all of the side panels and corners were free of dents and clean without significant scratches. Some of them may come with detachable speaker stands that can extend beyond the bottom of each cabinet. These stands help avoid the speakers to tip over and can add a better look, as shown below.

The modification involves removing the actual speakers from the speaker box as well as cutting them free of any wires that they may be connected to. Also the wires will be removed from inside. Some square wooden rods is placed along the outer walls to hold up the shelves after the inside of the cabinet has been sanded, as shown below. To decrease the staggering wobbliness quotient, some carriage bolts were ran through the speaker cabinet.

A small army of pointy metal objects has highlighted the back side of the media cabinet doors since the screws that hold the actual speakers in place have run deeper than the panel that they are screwed into. The rogue ends were sliced off using the rotary tool. A circular saw is used to cut along the line on all the sides, as shown below.

Since almost all speakers are made out of particle board, semi-gloss spray paint can be used to paint the inside of the trunk as shown below, although this task is optional. A little bit of modification can be done on the speaker before putting them back in their proper places and once the optional paint has dried. The opening and closing of the trunk can be made much easier by removing the magnet apparatus since some speakers have magnet disk on the back.

Some accessories can be placed outside the trunk such as a handle. To make the trunk a little more durable, some corner guards can be put around the trunk. The speakers can also be put under plexiglass to be protected from future damages. Holes must be sealed up in order to avoid dirt passing the inside of the trunk. Shown below is another version of modifying the speakers.
