🔊 Degraw DIY Speaker Kit: PAM8403 5V Amplifier + 2Pcs 4 ohm, 3 watt Speakers – Arduino Compatible Review

It was a simple kit with a minimum of soldering tools and the necessary skills. Works great with my Raspberry Pi projects. I added a microSD female cable for power. This allows me to use a Y-cable connected to my Pi's power supply (5V-3A). I am planning to use this kit in the Smart Mirror project in the near future.

This kit is worth the money. It's just that the one they sent me has a 4-pin connector that connects two speaker wires together, and that connector doesn't fit into anything else that's included. I can and will make it work by cutting off the connector and soldering everything together. Only if you're going to fit a plug in, why not one that plugs into something?

Bought this kit for a RetroPie arcade console I'm building. The sound is good and there's a slight hum, perhaps because it's connected to the same power source as the Raspberry Pi itself, but no other kit can match the price. Very pleased, but a warning to potential buyers: don't expect very high sound quality from this kit.

Amplifier is good, speakers are not worth the money; Volume and quality are bad. They tried to fix it with isolation, ended up fitting 1" silver speakers with this amp, VARIETY better, louder and much cleaner. The plug on the speakers DOES NOT mate with the pins on the amp - stupid!. The RCA Output has bare wires, there should be connections for the amp to make it a reasonable package.

The board comes with the correct pins (you'll have to solder it yourself though) but the speakers have an odd connector on the end that doesn't fit the connector pins. . So you (I) have to cut them off and wear something else instead. I think at this price you can overlook these problems. PS - I used a very small screwdriver and pulled the plugs out of the connector. From there I just connected the plugs to the pins!

Built a small desktop arcade and used these speakers and amplifiers. There's nothing amazing about them, but they fit my project perfectly. They sound pretty decent for their size, and sitting a meter away is more than loud enough. My only complaint is the included 3.5 inch cable which causes a lot of interference. It made buzzing and other noises until I replaced this cable. It has no shielding and is not earth wrapped like other 3.5mm cables. After replacing this cable everything works as…

I use this as a treat dispenser to call my dog. Soldering was easy. As others have said the speakers come with a four pin connector (JST I think) and the pins are for the DuPont style. In other words, they don't connect. No big deal, I just hooked up some DuPont terminals. I was going to cut the cables anyway. My only complaint is a bunch of static. I mean it was unbearable. I just hooked it up to test and maybe it will get better when I assemble it. However, I have an extra core filter lying…
