Hi everyone! So good to be back with yet another speaker project after a long break.
Since most of my builds require quite a few tools to complete, this time I decided to build a portable speaker using a kit that you can purchase easily. I thought it would be a great idea to share a high quality speaker kit that is easy to assemble on your own and sounds great just as well.
I was fortunate enough to have Parts Express provide me with an inexpensive MKBoom speaker kit that consists of the drivers, the KAB amp board with the necessary accessories, port tubes, crossover boards, and the knock-down cabinets which are of great quality. If you are wondering about building a speaker yourself, I highly encourage you take a look at this MKBoom speaker kit.
I have to say that I am very impressed with the overall quality of this speaker kit. From great packaging to high quality of the CNC'd panels, this kit provides all the needed instructions, bolts, screws etc. to help you build a one of a kind portable Bluetooth speaker that you can customise however you like and that also sounds amazing.
Producing clear highs, wide soundstage and punchy and submerging bass from 4 inch woofers is just incredible. It sounds even better knowing that this speaker has been built by yourself.
To my mind, this speaker has an incredible value - not only is it not pricey, it is also a one of a kind speaker that you won't be able to buy off-the-shelf at the store since it will be customised with a unique design.
I have this speaker playing some soft jazz tunes while writing this description and can't get enough of the great sound quality it produces.
Hope you give this build a try!
See you on the next one!
