Home made speakers

I recently found out how to make wee speakers at the following site: Kit of No Parts It so happens that one of the technicians recently made some conductive yarn for me, stuff that he's been working on recently. So I've been playing about with it. Apparently it could be used for heating in a garment, but i thought I'd use it to make a speaker coil instead. Here's the yarn. See, that's copper wire in it. Very fine, but it weighs up as something like 300 tex, because of it's density in comparison to a normal yarn. This is the magnet i used:  On the left here is the second, larger and neater, speaker coil i made. It wasn't any louder than the first one, which you see on the right. I have attached the first speaker to a wee bit of quilty-bit, and have got the magnet sewn in. It just so happens that the first, messy speaker I made is about the same size as the magnet. I figure it makes no odds making it bigger as the magnet can only be adjacent
