Build-A-Speaker Workshop

Well, I don't know much about actual speakers themselves, but I know you can get cheap Chinese boards that already have everything you need to make a BT speaker. Most of them that I've seen also come with a charging circuit for lithium batteries. For the body, I'd suggest PVC pipe. The ends would best be 3d printed. You can find models of soda cans online. Just cut off the too and bottom in whatever program and scale them to fit the tube. You could also add whatever connectors you need like power, aux in, buttons, and holes for lights. Pretty easy project that I've been thinking about myself.

yeah the body will be no trouble im just worried about how to hook up speakers themselves to work

also OP here, i dont need bluetooth or any of that jazz just an aux hookup is fine

You'll want 1 or 2 full range drivers depending if you want to have sound coming out of one side of the tube or both, depending on what size you're looking to build I'd imagine you would be looking for a 6' or 8' cone. Within a $50 budget though idk about the sound quality of the driver, I'd spend a bit more if you want to ensure good parts and sound quality. As far as wiring it though, a driver only has a positive and negative contact so it's pretty easy to hook up.

thrift a cheap stereo set, and scavenge the drivers. They are often dirt cheap and pretty good. I think you'd spend the most money on an amplifier and battery, which you'll probably need to buy new. Perhaps follow the other anon's advice about chinese boards.

Maybe you can scavenge a battery from something but I have no experience with that.
