DIY Speaker 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.

Excuse me for my ignorance ,but how HARD is it to cut some 3/4 MDF on a table saw (45's and all mitres)and glue together.Obviously you copycut the originals to the TEE.Veneering needs some contact cement and a router to trim the edges smooth.I think it is very possible.

Thanks for the advice fellas.

I'm going to look into refurbishing and also some of the pre-built cabinets.
