Though it probably makes peddling a bit harder, these mobile sound systems put the party on wheels.
A new trend in Queens, bike stereos give those that are too young or can’t afford an auto a chance to rock out on the go, with car batteries powering thousands of watts of amps, subs, and speakers.
It might not look pretty, but it gets the job done.

With a few spare speakers and a pair of Ikea salad bowls, you can make your very own Low-Cost Spherical Speaker Array. The design of the speaker radiates sound in a very natural way, similar to the way in which an instrument radiates sound. Plus, they just look cool. Is there anything that Ikea can’t be used for?

These “Woofer” speakers might not knock socks off the audiophile living next door, but who cares what they sound like with looks like these. With a definite pun intended, the Woofers look like man’s best friend (sans heads of course) but sound far more sophisticated. Available in either black or white (which color was Fido again?), they’re sure to get conversations started at your next house party about as quickly as that story you tell about eating that goldfish in college.

The JBL Creature II speakers look a lot like a little Darth Vader helmet sitting on your desk, so one crafty techie decided to complete the transformation from speaker to Vader with a simple paper cutout and a little tape. He even provides a printable Vader so that you can transform your own speakers quickly and easily. Bonus points for breaking in your new Vader speakers with a little Star Wars theme music blaring through them.

Here’s a fun way to add a little cutesiness to your computer. The Super Fun Walk the Walk Stereo Speakers come incased in a stuffed animal-like case, and dangle their feet over the edge of whatever you place them on. They have a frequency response of 200 Hz – 10KHz, so they ought to sound halfway decent too, but sound comes second to cute with these guys. Pick up a pair for only $26.99.
