DIY Speaker Cabinets


Hi,

I've currently got a pair of Mordaunt Short MS 30i speakers. The cabinets are really banged up and I'd like to know how I could go about getting replacement cabinets. I'd like to use real wood if possible.

Does anyone have any websites I can purchase some cabinets/materials or any other general information that I can use?

Thanks,
Matt

Depending on just what your looking for you can buy cabinets and other parts from Parts Express. Or if you want to just build another speaker you have North Creek.

I ask Jim Salk of Veracity Audio about building me some custom cabinets. He said he could with the schematics or the original cabinets. It's another option, though it won't be cheap. It maybe better to just by a pair of his speakers when it's all done.LOL

That guy can build some beautiful cabinets!!!
Hi, I had some cabinets made for me for a speaker kit once. They were amazing. Most good speaker cabinets are made of MDF for the density, then have a veneer on the outside.

If you want to build them yourself, try this

If you want someone else to build them try Lee taylor, he makes excellent cabinets, but they may not be cheap.

Hi Matt,

You would need an EXACT duplicate of the dimensions and construction of your present cabinets to equal the intended performance by the speaker's designer. You might be better off refurbishing your present cabinets and covering them with wood veneer.

Madisound.com has a range of enclosures. They are good quality.

I disagree with Barry about how exact a copy of the original enclosure must be. Changes might be for the better. However, I do agree with him that refinishing the existing enclosures would probably be the best approach.
