Car stereo Boombox

I came across a power supply unit and had no idea what to do with it, so I decided to give it new life. With an old car stereo, two 5W speakers, and an antenna (a simple wire), I connected everything to the power supply. To make it look like furniture, I constructed a case using OSB panels and cut holes for the components. I added a rocker switch on the front panel to control the power supply without reaching the back of the boombox. To add some fun, I integrated Arduino Uno, LEDs, resistors, wires, a microphone sensor, and programmed it to create sound-sensitive lights. The total cost for these components was around 10€, and I found helpful videos from YouTube channels including "I5dov-HfoZk," "_L4YbE4MngY," and "c3DFLFITaG0." Following a tutorial and written program for Arduino on "princetronics.com/sound-sensitive-lights-w-sound-sensor-arduino" helped me achieve the desired functionality.
