Review on πŸ”Š BONATECH 3W Transparent Stereo Speaker Box DIY Kit: Enhanced Sound Amplifier in a Transparent Case by Vince Preston

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good, but there are shortcomings

Interesting little assembly project. Good combination of surface mount and through components. And it really works when it's done so you can see how it works. As with others, there were no instructions for plastic sleeves and removing all that brown sticky tread is very time consuming. Also, I have two boards A for the speakers, not A and B. If this happens to you, just move the R wire from the 3-wire core on the right speaker to the L pin on the audio section. The other two wires (+5V and GND) can be connected to their usual place on the 3-wire connector. Once assembled, everything worked well enough! Not the best sound in the world, but certainly decent enough to perform. I would give 5 stars if they included a solder paste stencil for the LED board, instructions for the plastic parts (and if the front/back holes were drilled better) and proper quality control when including the parts. Other than that it's decent enough and I recommend it if you want to kill a few hours over the weekend.
