I would go back to my bedroom when I was in Jr. High or High School and give these to myself. These are the little bookshelf speakers I imagined I had: huge soundstage, deep bass, and tiny box. In reality, back then all I had were some impish Minimus-7s."   The Overnight Sensations are designed to be a quick, economical build that can put out a surprisingly big sound in a small box. Could be a weekender project for an addict, a gift for a teenager (see above), or?in Paul's case?a set of small, full-bodied monitors that he could listen to while grading papers.   To start a do-it-yourself?er off right, this kit includes a pair of high-grade 1/2" Baltic birch cabinets that have been precisely CNC cut and rabbeted for perfect fit-and-finish when assembling the cabinet, as well as perfect driver fit.   For the Overnight Sensations' driver arrangement, Paul selected the versatile Dayton Audio ND20FA-6 3/4" neodymium silk dome tweeter and mated it to the attractive HiVi B4N 4" aluminum midbass woofer. To extract as much bass as possible, Paul decided upon a cabinet size of roughly 0.16 cubic feet (4.5 liters) which is tuned to 53 Hz using a ## Features - Quick, economical build that delivers surprisingly big sound from a small box - 1/2" Baltic birch cabinets have been precisely CNC cut for perfect fit-and-finish - Perfect size for use as small monitors and computer speakers - This kit is an excellent choice for an amateur speaker building hobbyist ## Images ![Overnight Sensations MT Speaker Kit Pair /w Cabinet - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71sSN1GjlBL.jpg) ![Overnight Sensations MT Speaker Kit Pair /w Cabinet - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71npAEizxqL.jpg) ![Overnight Sensations MT Speaker Kit Pair /w Cabinet - Image 3](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81ozgcu9wXL.jpg) ![Overnight Sensations MT Speaker Kit Pair /w Cabinet - Image 4](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41rhpz3Ax4L.jpg) ![Overnight Sensations MT Speaker Kit Pair /w Cabinet - Image 5](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41jHd3bphHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun build, great speakers. *by C***K on 3 January 2016* For anyone who wants to build their own speakers, this is a great place to start. I considered getting Dayton Audio's BR-1 kit from Parts Express, but I decided to try this instead. The BR-1 kit comes almost complete and all you have to do is some assembly. The speaker boxes are already finished and it's a matter of assembling the crossover components and installing the speakers. I wanted to try to tackle a little bit more. The Overnight Sensations kit comes with all included parts needed to assemble with the exception of binding posts. Of course, the glue and solder and tools you will need to have. The boxes themselves came in a flat pack and I just glued them together and held them together with clamps until dry. After that I finished them with spray paint. I considered staining them but I wanted a two tone finish with the baffles being blue. There are so many finish options that you will find on the web and it's just a matter of personal preference. I will probably stain the next set I build because I will definitely build another set. The crossover is probably the most challenging part of the build. My soldering skills my weak point and I ended up with a pretty sloppy board. It's on the inside however and nobody would ever see them anyhow. There are some pretty good pictures and designs on the web, but I didn't get the same results. When it comes right down to it however, it doesn't matter. These speakers sound amazing. I was completely surprised at the amount of bass coming out of these things. It made me laugh at what I was hearing. That's without breaking them in. I know when these little guys break in some, they will just get better. The mids are nice and the treble is bright without being harsh. Very smooth. I started out powering them with a Topping TP-60 but ended up pairing them with my Nobsound MS-10D. That's when these speakers really opened up. I recently bought some Micca MB42X's and while those are really nice speakers, these beat them hands down in the bass department. These are probably the closest comparison that I have in size. The Overnight Sensations are slightly more spendy than the Micca's, but for the size and sound these are well worth the difference. Plus, I get to say I built them! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a great project! When I first decided I wanted to ... *by L***G on 4 April 2016* What a great project!When I first decided I wanted to build a pair of speakers, I was torn. Did I want to buy a kit, and learn less because all the choices are made for me, or buy from scratch and potentially be in WAY over my head? I decided on a kit, because I figured that even though all the choices may be made, at least I would end up with a functioning pair of speakers.I was TOTALLY wrong. All of the choices are far from made for you with this kit, and I learned a TON about speaker building, from crossover design to cabinet building! I also learned a ton about the difference between a "Nice" speaker, and a "Cheap" speaker. There really is more going into the speaker than just tossing some speakers into a box and connecting it to an amplifier. In the process of building these, I had to research crossover layouts, figure out how to read wiring schematics, learn to solder, as well as problem solve the woodworking needed to assemble the cabinets, finish them nicely (I chose a clear acrylic finish), and adjust the cabinet ports to my preference.It took me a solid weekend to build these, taking my time and being as picky as I can be (some of the crossover designs I found on line look jumbled and thrown together, I took extra time to make them tidy, even though no one will see them). At the end of the weekend, I have a beautiful pair of excellent sounding bookshelf speakers, and I can show them off to people and say "I BUILT THOSE!"Some notes: The plywood used for the cabinets is nice, but all plywood is subject to tear-out. Be very very careful drilling, sanding or cutting on these. Use a piece of wood as a backer to prevent tear out. Also, this kit DOES NOT contain everything you need. You will need, at a minimum, wire, and terminal posts, not to mention all of your tools, glue, solder, and finishes. I am luck enough to have a small workshop to work in, I think this would be a rough project to do on a kitchen table... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great! *by K***M on 9 October 2013* I'm really starting to back in to audio but decided to start a little more at the bottom, learning more about speakers, crossovers and such. This kit sounds pretty well in my home office. I had them mated to an old Onkyo 5.1 reciever but just purchased a Dayton 50W amp. I will be starting to build my second pair of these in the next week. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/182911194-overnight-sensations-mt-speaker-kit-pair-w-cabinet](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/182911194-overnight-sensations-mt-speaker-kit-pair-w-cabinet) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-14*
