Stereo Audio is Pleasing.

Adjustable Amp Level.
Features that could be Added or Improved on:

I assembled the same kit about a month ago; Its not bad. These are perfect for the bathroom; My cell phone still has the 3.5mm jack in it for headphones/etc. Nice little kit.

Hej Todderbert wow nice speaker kit take care and have a lovely day.

[@humbertorangel7523]

Very nice speakers, thanks!

[@turtlekoff1]

OK... live and learn. I messed this one all up and think I'm gonna get another kit and start over. The instructions that you download are much better than the printed that comes with or the QR code scan version. When you click on the second link above and then click on download the manual in the red circle you will get the best version of the instruction manual. 15 pages. Have to be careful to wire the red, green, yellow and blue correct per Todd to get stereo.

Fun fact: The speakers are the same as an old pair of CD-R KING computer speakers I had back then.

A battery you can use a 14500 type.will fit,and in a holder.

👍

[@DanielFlores-ku8os]

Any news on the PJB front? 😁

[@radellaf]

I have the two-cube version of this. Maybe I should glue em together

[@todderbert]

Um...maybe I should have separated these in the picture :) They can be pulled apart up to 27"

[@radellaf]

@@todderbert Ah, then I have that exact kit, and have been sitting on it. I did the PCB soldering but the mechanical part isn't inspiring me. I also wanted a 5521 DC jack vs the cable it comes with. Glad you didn't separate them! I'm going to skip the hardwire cable between them (which I'd want jacks for..) and just build it as one piece. I'd love to come up with a good idea for a speaker grille, too...

[@turtlekoff1]

Just ordered. Thanks Todd ! de N4WRW
