Overview
High efficiency speaker kit using the Scan-Speak Discovery H2606/9200 Horn Loaded 1" Textile Dome Tweeter and Eminence AlphaLite-6B 16 ohm 6.5" Pro Midbass drivers.
Alpha 95 MTM Speaker Kit - Pair
95db ~ 8ohm!
Flatpack cabinets are available directly through Speaker Hardware.
The Alpha 95 utilizes two Eminence AlphaLite-6B 16 ohm 6.5" Pro Midbass Drivers paired with a Scan-Speak Discovery H2606/9200 Horn Loaded 1" Textile Dome Tweeter in an easy to build, cost effective, & high efficiency speaker kit.
Consider these for stereo listening or high impact home theater. They can be driven with the lowest powered amps offering warmth and immediacy, while also having the power handling and output to blow you out of the room with higher powered amps. Easy to blend with a subwoofer - cross over well under 100Hz. While not weatherproof, they also have the capabilities for outdoor/open-air/large room applications.
We made a special surplus purchase of the Eminence drivers, so are able to offer them at a significant discount. The Scan-Speak H2606/9200 tweeters are also being offered at a promotional price, making this design one of the best DIY speaker deals going! Singles can be purchased for 1/2 the pair price.

The series woofer inductor is a Sidewinder 16awg air core, with a polycap in the parallel circuit.

Great after break-in
Reviewed by jaypsullivan on 08/28/2025
I built a pair for home theater and music listening (mostly classic rock) used 3/4 mdf with thick(1/4") shop made walnut veneer. They sounded shrill and top heavy until broken in. Now the highs are much more mellow and the midrange has loosened up. I also built a center channel but had to squish the design of the mtm down and offset the tweeter to fit a 10" x 15" opening so I extended the depth to make up for it. Wish we could include pics here.
Great speakers

I boult them out of 1/2" birch with a lot of bracing. Ended up going with a smaller port diameter with a lower tune by accident, and ended up keeping it after some in room measurement. They sound great, my partner agreed too which was the first time for one of my speaker projects.

Great kit
Reviewed by Jlarrick on 01/04/2024
I bought this kit to make garage speakers to replace some I made in 1993 from leftover OE car speakers and Radio Shack crossovers.
This kit came with high quality parts, especially the tweeters. Having pre-made crossovers was nice. I made my own boxes out of some 3/4" 7-ply cabinet plywood I found on Craigslist dirt cheap. Since I was hanging these on the wall, Adam advised to run the port out the bottom.
All in, the cost to make a great pair of speakers was really reasonable. Sound quality is balanced, with punchy bass. These would be quite capable in nicer cabinets as living room speakers. I am driving them with an old Philips FR968 receiver I got free years ago. A better receiver would likely help the sound even more.
A good purchase.
