Have anyone tried using these wall shelving brackets for internal bracing of a speaker cabinet? They typically look like a hollowed out triangle. Seems a lot easier to use than cutting wooden cross braces. Would introducing metal components into the cabinet structure affect the speaker sound at all?

thanks,
gar.

Should be just fine. If it's solid - You'll know it. Give it a rap with your knuckles or a light tap from a hammer. If the cabinet gives a hollow drub-like sound or the metal rings, then you still have some damping work to do. But if it sounds solid, like you hit the Earth, then you've got it licked.
