Make use of old speakers

For a while I wanted to have some speakers in our kitchen.
I did looking to getting a sonos speaker but seems expensive - especially because I have some old wall-mount speakers in the attic - and I do not really like the fact I need to have an app to play music…

I desided to look for some DIY options.

It seems pretty straigh forward, I know that I do not get the wireless multi room feature that Sonos provides but hey, that was not my init usecase. I may change my opinion later on.

I fould a nice amp board that supported bluetooth and I had 2 speakers lying around from way-back…

You can get it on amazon

I and an old rasbperry pi case that it fit right into so that I could mount it behind one of my speakers together with the powersupply.

Then I wired the other speaker

And then the setup was complete.
