Mini Keg Radio

So you drank an mini keg and you don't want to throw it away? I have an answer for you. I turned my Hineken mini keg into a portable radio. Instructions So I bought a 110Vac to 12.6Vac transformer and rectified it to 12.5VDC. Then I hooked up the head unit to the 12V DC source, this is not hard but the wiring depends on the type of head unit. I also added a 12V to 5V DC buck converter to power two female usb outlets. I designed and printed the two brackets to hold the keg in place and the speaker boxes to hold the speakers. I am still working on making a handle. After printing the boxes and brackets I painted them with the "Stone" like spray paint to hide any imperfections. Just add speakers and female USB ports and have at it. Hope this inspires you. If you have any questions give me a shout.
