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!

Just built this unit. sounds pretty impressive!!… worth every penny!… used for 6 hrs straight at pretty high volume and the batteries lasted no problem. Played all types of music. For wattage, price and size theres no other Bluetooth speaker like this👍

Hey, Donny, just finished building mine. Sounds really good, and boy does it crank! Lots of power.
I was quite surprised at how good it sounds. I hooked up a cd player through the aux port. Works like a charm. Bluetooth synched up no problem.
Parts Express has some really cool kits! Very reasonably priced.

Great video, Donny, very detailed! I've been waiting for this to be "in stock" again so I can build my own. I have built several speakers over the years, including ones from Parts Express. Their kits are terrific! Building the C-Notes right now.
I like this kit because it has an "input" I can use to hook up a CD player as well as Bluetooth.

I thought it was excellent, very well presented and delivered, I thought you would have done another coat of paint and I’ve not checked yet but hope you’ve done a link to the component parts. DG New Forest U.K.

Hello, congratulations for your work.
Could you give me the thickness of the wood used and the diameter of the tube? Thank you

[NekitGeek]

You can use Aday1701 DSP for make sound better. And make limitter from op amp to prevent speaker blow

[wizard]

Which kit do you recommend the most at this point? Not even sure what my options are for great kits out there...

[dennyindarnanto]

I believe that your project is not DIY, but AIY ( assembling your self )😀

[JP-pcto]

Hi. Is there a reason why you did not put foam or padding inside? Wouldn’t it help it sound better? Just curious. I’m thinking of building this kit. It would be my first.

[JudeSturman]

Thanks for posting this! Without it I would not have been able to figure out my MKBoom. This should be the official video! @partsexpress

[stevefick]

Forgot to mention....MAKE SURE YOU TEST ALL THE DRIVERS when the kit arrives.
My C-Notes had a bad tweeter. No problem, though, Parts Express is going to send my a new one no questions asked.
Great company to deal with.
