Just finished a little project using the Dayton Audio 2x15W blue tooth board. 
Speakers are 2x Faital Pro 3FE22 (from memory). They also do little kits to go with the board that have a volume control, cables for an on/off switch and an LED kit to show power on, BT and battery charging. This speaker only runs off a laptop style 19V charger from the mains. They do do a battery extension board which i would like to use on the next project.

The bit i struggled with the most was trying to find a good power supply and associated panel mount DC socket. Does anyone have a any suggestions for these? And would it work to charge the battery board if I added one?

Overall really happy with the build, the speakers sound nice and are not fatiguing to listen to like a lot of others of this size. They are in about a 2L sealed enclosure so there is not much bass going on but it was a present for my girlfriend and we have differing tastes in music!

Those Faital are exceptional drivers, even without EQ. 200Hz rolloff in a sealed box but the sound is great. An angled baffle might have been nice but I bet that little box is belting.

Nice build!
It's probably a Wondom / Sure JAB amp kit - I'd suggest a 19v laptop supply for power and charging. 
Only niggle I can see with your box, and so many portable speaker builds, is the switch isn't flush... that drives me nuts, thinking about how it might get knocked about

It's pretty deeply recessed at least. I saw a professional midtop at Prolight+Sound with a completely protruding switch (same as the one in this build so a flimsy lever about 1.5cm clear of the surface of the cab). I won't embarrass the manufacturer - I'm sure it was an early prototype LOL wasn't a no name oddball either, they're pretty widely used.

So the switch sticking out also drives me nuts, but I had a really nice toggle switch that I like the chunky feel of and limited time (it was a gift) so I compromised on recessing  it the full depth of the wood (15mm).

Thanks for the comments. It is branded a Dayton board, but seems remarkably similar to the Sure one.
