Sympa, tout sa dans le cadre d’un projet, le mec c’est bien amusé quand même

Vous pouvez le faire-vous même :

We know you’ve put a huge amount of work into the project, can you tell us a little about the process involved in making the speakers?
Initially when I thought about this project and its construction I didn’t anticipate how much work would be involved. Here is a list of what had to be done:

1. Dismantle the amp and speakers
2. Meticulously take apart the control panel, switches, nodules and input sockets (checking at each stage to make sure things still worked – and solving any problems)
3. Mark on the sneakers where I was going to cut out the holes for the speaker cones, and then very carefully cut out using a scalpel
4. Gut the inside of the sole unit to fit the amp and mark the outside of the midsole to fit all the volume controls and LED (again making sure all was still working)
5. Mark and cut out the holes for the on/off switch and the audio input/output sockets
6. Design the wooden stands, cut them out, sand, clean, varnish and assemble them
7. Attach the sneakers and run the power cables through the stands
8. Fit the speakers and rig all the wires with a soldering iron and heat seal shrink rubber tubing (of which there were about 30 soldered joints)
9. Make bespoke phono cables, as standard cables are just black
10. Add a small plaque, depicting what does what on the sneaker control panel

This is a simplified list of what had to be done, and when each process is new to you (combined with the fact there is no room for error), you have to take each step very slowly and carefully.
