To determine the volume of the Bluetooth speaker, we start with the formula for the volume of a cube, which is given by:

\[
V = s^3
\]

where \( s \) is the length of an edge of the cube. Given that the edge length is 4.5 inches, we can calculate the volume of the speaker:

\[
V_{\text{speaker}} = (4.5)^3
\]

Calculating \( 4.5^3 \):

\[
4.5^3 = 4.5 \times 4.5 \times 4.5
\]

Calculating \( 4.5 \times 4.5 = 20.25 \):

\[
20.25 \times 4.5 = 91.125
\]

Therefore, the volume of the speaker is:

\[
V_{\text{speaker}} = 91.125 \text{ cubic inches}
\]

Next, we calculate the volume of the container, which is in the shape of a square prism. The formula for the volume of a prism is given by:

\[
V = B \times h
\]

where \( B \) is the area of the base and \( h \) is the height. The base area \( B \) is 25 square inches and the height \( h \) is 6.25 inches. Therefore:

\[
V_{\text{container}} = 25 \times 6.25
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
25 \times 6.25 = 156.25
\]

Thus, the volume of the container is:

\[
V_{\text{container}} = 156.25 \text{ cubic inches}
\]

Now, to find out how much empty space remains in the container after placing the speaker inside, we subtract the volume of the speaker from the volume of the container:

\[
\text{Empty space} = V_{\text{container}} - V_{\text{speaker}} = 156.25 - 91.125
\]

Calculating this:

\[
156.25 - 91.125 = 65.125
\]

Therefore, the amount of empty space remaining in the container after the speaker is placed inside is:

\[
\text{Empty space} = 65.125 \text{ cubic inches}
\]

To summarize the answers:
1. Volume of the speaker: **91.125 cubic inches**
2. Volume of the container: **156.25 cubic inches**
3. Empty space remaining in the container: **65.125 cubic inches**
