4. Body:

I am a third year electrical engineering student in one of the prestigious schools

offering engineering courses today. As part of my third year training, my electronics
instructor required us to make an electronic device. I have developed a six-sided hi-fi
speaker system. The minimal cost of the materials for the speaker system is P200.00.
Likewise, the speaker system is simple to construct. It is lightweight. The sound
reproduction is superior.

I would be very happy to share with the readers of the Science Journal the plans
for the said speaker. I hope you will reprint the said plan in our magazine.

Thank you.
