In one sentence, BIG SOUND, SMALL PACKAGE!!! That sums it up....

You get (2) two Klipsch (Foster)** 5 1/4" woofers and Cerwin Vega dual woofer cross-over kitted together with (1) one Samsung High Output Dome Tweeter.
**The woofers are OEM for Klipsch products, mfg. for Klipsch by Foster one of the largest speaker OEM's in the world.

So you are you looking for a great sounding Center Channel Speaker, with this kit you DIY (do it yourself) and save money. Of the center channel kits I have, this one is my choice, the overall size and sound is perfect....

Yes, it OK to Bust a button when your friend says, "BOY THAT SPEAKER SOUNDS GREAT, WHERE DID YOU GET IT?"

You respond, "I BUILT IT MYSELF." Just watch their jaw drop, and their impression of you go up.

Remember, this is not some meak speaker kit here, you get 2 solid fully shielded 5 1/4" Klipsch Foster woofers for excellent quality lows, and a Samsung High Output tweeter for crisp clean highs.

Surprise yourself and dazzle your friends with this Do it yourself ( DIY ) project.

What do you get:

Two 5 1/4 inch Shielded Foster Cloth Surround Woofers 50 Hz to 4500 Hz. 75 watts, 16 ohms, 1" vc
One Samsung High Output Dome Tweeter 95 db, dome, 10 oz, 2.5kHz to 20 kHz, 8 ohms
One Cerwin Vega 2 way Crossover, 125 watts, cross-over point 3600 Hz, 12 db..
note that the woofers need to be wired in parallel to get an 8 ohm impedence, doing so also doubles the power capability.

Performance:

Power: 120 Watts RMS
SPL: 92 db or greater
Response: 45 Hz to 20000 Hz.
Imp.: 8 ohms nominal

Cabinet Requirements:

Perfect for any cabinet with a volume of about .4 cf.

If you built cabinets with inside dimensions of 13 inches by 7 inches by 7 inches, & if you use 3/4 inch MDF your outside dimensions would be 14.5 inches by 8.5 inches by 8.5 inches, but build to suit you needs, just keep the internal volume to about the .4 cf model and you'll do fine.
*Note that a good material for this project is MDF, you can buy a nice piece of MDF shelving at your local building supply house for about $3.00 in 8 foot lengths (one 8 foot length should be plenty for this box), most have a nice rounded nose for a stylish look. So for about $35.00 you can build one heck of a nice sounding and performing speaker.

Now for those who need a bit of help in wiring the woofers in parallel. you will need two lenghts of wire (12 to 18 inches). Take the red leads from the crossover, and connect them to woofer number one, (lead with stripe is negative) then take the two lenghts of wire that you have and connect to the two woofers, positive to positive, and negative to negative. That's it, they are parallel.

*A note to the builder, this kit can be used for either a Center Channel or Book shelf style of speaker you just mount the speakers in a different configuration, the boxes are the same size.
