This kit has become known as a boutique Hi-Fi killer. This kit is ideal for novice woodworkers, the baffle is pre-cut for the drivers, you just build the enclosure. The kit includes parts to build a single speaker: a pre-cut front baffle, cabinets, drivers, crossover components, and damping material. The Amiga has a detailed yet relaxed sound with surprising low frequency extension Remarkably flat response, ±2.5 dB from 35-20,000 Hz This kit is ideal for any novice woodworker. The enclosure is very easy to build, you only need to create a box and attach the pre-cut baffle. The solid 3/4" MDF baffle is CNC milled by Denovo Audio to tight tolerances. Recesses for flush mounting the drivers are pre-cut making assembly a snap. This kit includes nearly everything you need to build a top-notch speaker including a pre-cut baffle, cabinets, drivers, port, damping material, and crossover components. 0:00 Intro 0:26 Building the cabinets 6:30 Cabinet assembly 8:41 Sound deadening 9:20 Crossover build 12:41 Installing crossovers 13:08 Final assembly 13:55 Sanding 14:54 Veneering 19:46 Router work 20:37 Veneer sanding 21:15 Port cutouts 22:00 Applying varnish 23:25 Ports 24:31 Terminal cups 25:09 Woofers and tweeters 28:34 Speaker stands 29:06 Outro
