Dayton Audio MK KIT 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Kit Pair
Designed with both beginners and experienced hobbyists in mind, the MK KIT makes the process of building high-quality speakers accessible and fun. The kit features compact, precision-cut MDF enclosures with rabbeted joints that ensure perfect panel alignment and robust construction. These knock-down cabinets are easy to glue and clamp, streamlining the assembly process whether it’s your first build or a weekend project. The enclosure’s unfinished surface also invites endless customization, allowing you to paint, veneer, or finish the speakers to match your personal style or décor.
At the heart of the MK KIT’s sound are carefully selected audio components: the Dayton Audio TCP115-4 4" treated paper cone woofer and the TD20F-4 3/4" soft dome neodymium tweeter. The woofer is renowned for its impressive excursion and deep bass output despite its modest size, ensuring tight, controlled low frequencies that bring music and movies to life. The soft dome tweeter delivers exceptionally smooth and detailed highs, with a wide dispersion and low distortion thanks to its advanced motor design. Together, these drivers provide a balanced, accurate listening experience with a frequency response from 60 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
The MK KIT’s crossover network is fully assembled and integrated into the terminal cup, making wiring a breeze. Utilizing a 3rd-order high-pass filter for the tweeter and a 2nd-order low-pass filter for the woofer, the crossover ensures that each driver operates within its optimal frequency range for seamless integration and natural sound. The use of solder-free, plug-and-play connections eliminates the need for complex wiring or soldering, making this kit an excellent choice for those new to building speakers. The included 5-way binding posts provide reliable and flexible connections for your amplifier or receiver.
Beyond its approachable assembly and high-quality sound, the MK KIT is versatile enough for a range of applications. Its compact size makes it ideal for desktop use, small room listening, or as part of a larger home audio system. With all required components included - drivers, knock-down enclosures, crossovers, port tubes, damping material, screws, and terminal cups - this kit ensures you’ll have everything needed for a successful build. Experience the satisfaction and pride of assembling your own custom speakers, and enjoy years of rich, engaging sound from a design engineered to perform.
