Example Projects for the KAB-2150 

The incredible class D power of the KAB-2150 comes with high power efficiency, which makes it perfect 
for portable or high powered speakers of all kinds. It could also be built into an enclosure and used to 
make a customized, high power amp with Bluetooth and tone controls. 

Powered Bluetooth Party Speaker 

The built in Bluetooth streaming and high power of the KAB-2150 make it perfect for creating a loud 
party speaker that can be taken on the go. The potentiomers controls allow quick adjustment for 
different listening environments, which is very convenient for different venues. For example, you might 
want increased treble in a noisy environment to improve clarity, but in a quieter environment you might 
not want so much treble. For large rooms you might want more bass, but in small rooms you might want 
less. 

Add Amplification to Passive Speakers 

The KAB-2150 could be built into an existing pair of speakers, allowing them to be used without external 
amplification. The high power of the KAB-2150 would be more than enough power for most Bookshelf 
speakers, and even enough for many tower spekaers. The included wiring harnesses for power in, 
volume, tone control and Bluetooth control make the amplifier easy to build into any existing cabinet.   

Customized Bluetooth Amplifier 

The KAB-2150 could be built into a custom enclosure, such as the case of some old electronics, a custom 
3D printed enclosure, or anything you can think of. The included wiring harnesses make it easy to mount 
all controls and inputs to whatever enclosure you choose. 

Add Bass Shakers to your Home Theater 

The high power of the KAB-2150 means it could do an excellent job of powering bass shakers, which 
could be installed on a couch, chair, or anywhere you can think of to add extra bass rumble to your 
system, without bothering the neighbors, roommates or family. Dayton Audio offers a growing variety of 
bass shakers for different installation needs. See daytonaudio.com for more!
