Any big box or music store will sell you a really good amp for about the cost of the SEA-310. So why spend your time soldering components, stripping wires, tightening screws and making measurements with an electronic multimeter?
Here’s why: When you build the SEA-310 you build more than an amplifier. You build YOU into a Craftsperson with the skill and confidence to build, create, and fix things using tools. You also end up with a beautiful little amplifier you’ll use and admire for years to come.
Need more convincing? By building the SEA-310 you may find a career direction with Electrical Engineering. See the technical information on this site – We’ll help you explore engineering by experimenting with and modifying the SEA-310.
Here’s why the SEA-310 is the kit you want:
- Clear instructions allow beginners to build and test.
- Gives you hands-on experience building stuff with a wide variety of common tools.
