Another popular design by Paul Carmody, the Amiga 2-way tower kit has a small footprint but produces a big sound. 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.
