Who Else Wants to Make Their Own Ammo Can Speaker Box For Cheap?

And best of all… you probably have most the stuff sitting around your house.

You might have an old ammo can box laying around or you can easily get your hands on one from a army navy store. Here’s a cool DIY to turn an old .50 cal ammo can into a portable ammo can boom box.

Don’t have a .50 cal ammo can? You can get surplus .50 cal ammo cans online and at most surplus stores for cheap, the rest of the parts needed to complete the project shouldn’t be more than $50 or so.
