Smokin’ MonoBox Mod

Weekend Projects maker Tim writes in with his version of the MonoBox Powered Speaker, modded into a Liga Privada No. 9 cigar box. You can see Tim offset the installation of the driver onto the box’s lid to preserve the art deco style labeling. And a box big enough to hold 24 cigars means he was able to fit a 3.5″ driver in there without hassle.

I finally made one of these boxes (I had been sourcing the materials and Santa brought me the last of what I needed). I bought parts to make two and plan to have one right channel and the other left. There are some good tips on this guide. Thanks for putting it together and sharing it out.

I used a Liga Privada No. 9 cigar box to house it (you can find them on ebay or maybe your local cigar shop) and a 3.5″ driver.

Thanks for writing in Tim! Did you build a Weekend Project? Send us an email with pictures and a story, and you could appear here on the MAKE blog!
