Re: 7Pi cabinet building
Most plywood products are made without any attention paid to the possibility of having voids between plies. It's not usually a problem when making furniture. But for speakers, a void is often (usually) fatal. Because where there's a void, there's usua...

Re: MDO - Instead of Plywood
Cut your stock about 1/16" oversize on any exposed edges (be it baltic or MDF/HDF). Use a flush trim bit in a router for a perfect matching edge everytime.
Access to new Baltic birch right now is all but impossible due to a certain conflict. I am...

Re: 4PI cabinet drawing
You've got mail!
Be careful with plywood though. The only product I can endorse is Baltic Birch. It is made with very thin laminates clamped under a lot of pressure and held with plenty of glue. This fills any voids present in the laminates with gl...

Re: Building Speaker Cabinet
Sorry to butt in on your question, Reinhardt, but I'm curious about something. Would OSB be an okay alternative? I have so much of it around my house and I'd love to use it for something. I would want to sand it down some though, for aesthetic purposes...

Re: Building Speaker Cabinet
Use MDF or Baltic Birch plywood. You can veneer the cabinet with any sort of real wood you prefer. But you want a composite wood product like MDF or plywood because solid woods have natural resonances that you want to avoid. Also, when using plywood, ...

Re: Help me troubleshoot freaky cabinet-tuning issue?

Re: Bamboo Plywood?
I've never used bamboo plywood. But I can tell you this for sure - It isn't the base wood you need to be concerned with, other than its tendency to form knots. The main thing to pay attention to is the adhesive and construction technique, specifically,...

Re: Bamboo Plywood
I've never used it, but I can tell you that I've seen a lot of plywoods that aren't suitable for speaker building. Most aren't, actually. The thing to watch out for is internal voids between plies that have debris which causes a buzzing sound. Worse y...
