Simple Speaker Project
Hello, I'm new to these forums, but I'd like to know if anyone could help me with some basic plans for an 8Ω speaker. I have electronics knowledge up to basic semiconductors, so I know what most DC and AC components are.
In my electronics class, we are building projects, and I was assigned to build a speaker. As I wasn't sure how to build a speaker of any kind, I joined this forum for some advice to get me started. Would anyone please be able to explain to me how Computer speakers work and how they are made?
Here's what I know:
What I don't know is:
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.
EDIT: I think I'll need to make it wall plug-in.

Here's what I know:
- Normal "wall" voltage is 115VAC.
- I need an LED for a power indicator
- I need a 3.5mm TRS connector for signal input
What I don't know is:
- I want to have 2 speaker diaphragms; how would I line them up?
- How to make volume adjustable
- Do speakers normally use capacitors?
- I hear most speakers use 8 ohms of resistance, but where do you put that?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.
