I've covered old chipboard boxes with thinish plywood as test boxes, but for the effort involved you might as well start from scratch....

Agree
I've tried to rebuild/copy existing speakers in "new" boxes, 3/4" MDF (glue heavily and clamped) and thrown away the 1/2" particle board or plastic enclosures many a time.
I haven’t had one work as well as the original so far. So many drivers out there now; kits, modeling programs, etc. really no need to rebuilding them. |
