Hi folks.
I'm in the process of designing a couple of pairs of speakers at the moment - one passive pair, one active pair. I know plenty about the acoustics and electronics stuff involved but I don't have so much experience on the woodworking side. I'd be grateful if some of you guys could help me out with a few of the dumb questions I've got :
1. I'm planning on using MDF around 20mm (depending what they've got in B&Q when I go). I was also planning on putting the whole lot together with the glue + screws approach, which I was hoping to do in a way which avoids me needing to clamp while the glue dries. Are there any tips you can offer me on this method?
2. This sounds really dumb, but is there a recommended way to put the 6 panels together ie. which order to put them together, which panels overlap each other in which ways? I guess I should mention that I'm probably going to use a single internal bracing. Does this make life much more complicated?
3. Are there any websites with useful pictures about the actual box construction itself?
I'd really appreciate any advice here. Thanks in advance.
