First set of speakers I built



This was the first set of speakers I built. It is a Dayton model in the MTM configuration using Dayton 6 1/2" mid-woofers, and Dayton silkie tweeters.

These speakers have a lot of bass. They seem to sound best set away from the wall. I am using them as mains in my 5.1 setup. I replaced the Klipsch that I was using before. They have a larger sound than the Klipsch if that makes sense.

I painted the baffles brown to match the leather furniture in my family room. The rest of the speaker is a gloss black. Nowhere near a flawless finish, but it was my first set.

I did recess the drivers which gives the speaker a much better look and sound.
