Hey there, I just finished my DIY from scratch led speaker stands, (bondo, and glue still drying)..!
pics:
image 1
image 2
ingrediants:
1x MDF board shelf 5'x.5"x1'(1.99)
1x hammered metal spray paint (rustoleum)
1x gloss white spray paint (krylon)
4x 6" pvc pipe (.69 cents each)
2x white led super bright (1 per stand) ($2.00)
1x custom cut plexi (frosted with sand paper) ($4.00)
total cost ~ $24.00
tools used:
sodder
sodering iron
circular saw
drill
sand paper (400, 1500, 1800)
super glue
bondo
floor glue
I need my desktop Paradigm Speakers to rise another 6" on my desk, however I didnt want to hunt for them in store, and have to spend 79 dollars for them! so i improvised.
heh.
the hardest part was the led/switch wiring
The leds get power from my computer system ( i was thinkin bout using a battery 9v or 2 x AA, but it would only last 1 week, i want em on while my audiophile computer system is on!
Also integrated a switch on each stand incase i want to turn em off.
They get power via mini fan connecter (+5v). I used 5v white led. I used sleeving on the wiring from computer to speaker so it looks like hi-fi speaker cable. If you dont want the extra wire u can just remove the cable and it is flush at the base.
The pics will be coming showing step by step process of build..
let me know what u think!
thanks,

Looks just like that '67 Impala with the lights under the chassis that I saw at the car show. |
