Ikea/Sonos speaker hack...

A friend sent this awesome hack that might of interest to a few here:

Basically, it’s a simple, but really clever little hack that uses the internals of the $99 Ikea Sonos speaker to create a Sonos ready set up with your existing biwireable passive speakers.

Shouldn't he have removed the passive crossover from the "new" speaker first? Or did I miss that bit?

Interesting though, thanks, didn't realise Ikea released this speaker. Could well prompt one of those rare "how do you fancy a visit to Ikea" conversations.
