Great idea! You can really "see" sound with the water acting proxy for air. I'd like to see it turned 90 degrees CCW and see it horizontal.

my first thought: 'oohhh neat!" my second one is: did you try to turn this on its side so the water was bouncing up? that would be cool too. nice effect and movement

That doesn't look healthy for the speaker!

Nice! This is what sound means to me. I love the effect here - I assume it's a rotation of something you did vertically? :) 9

you're crazy to do that to your speakers

Hmm, curious how you set this up. It works with the topic. That glare in the center is unfortunately high, very disruptive in a photo otherwise fairly dark.

Very hard to look at, as I'm very much into sound engineering (hobby), with water going into a speaker. It's kind of dark, and took me a bit of time to determine that it is indeed a speaker.

Nice composition, well lit. I wasn't sure I liked the grain given by the high ISO, but it has really grown on me. Excellent work.

did you really put water on your speaker and shake it with the bass?! Is that bad for it? Very cool.
