Multiple Miniature speaker project

[Daniel pinchbeck]

Hi guys I'm new to this site so I'm hoping you can help, my step dad has just started building his own model village and train and Iv been looking for a gift for him, he really wants his village to have sound but he can't think of a way to do it.

I thought about placing multiple small speakers inside various small building in his village and running the wires from each under the base and joining onto one aux Jack which can be plugged into an MP3 player that will play general village sounds... My question is where the hell do I begin?
Haha I can't find the small box speakers anywhere and I'm lost as to how I would attach them all to the same aux Jack... Any help would be great thanks in advance

1.You will need a small audio amplifier, since an MP3 player can't drive a speaker directly.
2. You need to define "miniature".

I would prefer to have it no larger then 10cm X 10cm

I used these in an electric model boat for diesel engine sound.

you can get small speakers from Farnell and places like that ...about 30mm diameter and 10mm thick...maybe even on Ebay

Did you want different sounds coming from each speaker? If so, you can only get 2 from an MP3 player at the same time. If not, why do you need multiple speakers?

That isn't "miniature"...

Anyways,
How loud do you need them to be?
That is defined in Watts.
It will determine the amplifier required and the matching loudspeaker for it.

In general,
You can get very small speakers like those found in PCs,Laptops,Cellphones etc.
