Speakers go to pot

Posted by T3 Online on Fri 17 Mar 2006

Meet Tubthumper - the plant pot that's really an outdoor speaker.

You might have seen the outdoor speakers disguised as rocks before, but here's a new twist on the idea - a faux terracotta pot that functions as both a patio planter and a 90 watt two-way speaker!

The Tubthumper's speaker comes supplied with ten metres of cable. You simply hook each speaker up to your amplifier as per usual and before you can say, "Where the Chesney Hawks is that noise coming from?" you've got tunes pumping out from beneath your begonias. And because the Tubthumper is fully waterproof you can leave it connected up outdoors permanently. It's genius.

You can buy the handmade polypropelyne pots for £100 a pair at the makers' website, www.mjbaudio.co.uk .
