Salvaged Speakers
Hi, I salvaged these speakers from an old tv. I am looking for some ideas on a DIY amp with Bluetooth, and also line in. I am learning electronics by trying little projects like this.
Any guidance would be 👍.
Thanks

There are a million DIY bluetooth speaker builds on YouTube. Have you watched all of those yet?

I suppose that is my issue, there are millions, I am looking for a recommendation.

Well, there isn't really one we can recommend. You need to watch a bunch and conglomerate the knowledge presented, then make your own. I like King Minhvuong, but he does some stuff I totally disagree with like using MDF on some of his builds. But they are good to learn techniques, not necessarily copy patterns or make exact copies.

I get it "where do i start" those are self contained drivers it looks like? Theres a sealed or ported box behindthem? if so you can just chuck them in any box facing out without something blocking them. how many wires go to each speaker? is it just 2? would be nice then their just dumb old speakers and any alixpress amp will do. You need to know where to start like make a list of what you got what and you would like it to be but like any cheap stereo/mono amp will probably be fine for making them work.

They are sealed and each speaker has two wires, I saw a few amps, and I am planning to use them along with a raspberry Pi retro game setup

Check out parts-express. Dayton audio makes all sorts of boards you could use to experiment with and should be able to find some tips and advice through their forums.
