After a mere 10 years another room of my old huge home is now ready to move in. For purpose of symmetry I need a rectangular pillar of about 2.5 meters height and I think that could be a Voigt pipe subwoofer. My plan is to have two 10 in drivers in push-pull.
However there may be severe problems with resonances and in general instability of a construction of such dimensions if it is made of MDF or of 14 layer birch plywood. Another option is concrete with steel inlay. Anyone out there an idea?

Personally I think that wood bracing is a good option. Easy to work with and high stiffness-weight ratio. Also remember that wood is a organic material which grows/shrinks with temperatur/humidity different from metal.
If I'd build a 2.5 meter basspipe I'd go with plywood with internal spruce bracings. Of course, in the end it is highly individual which materials one favors to work with. Whichever way you choose I wish you the best of luck

Don't know. Frankly, unless you're wanting to support a concrete ceiling, then either braced or double thick 19 mm Baltic Birch plywood construction will get the job done.
