I am very interested in building Pi Speakers, probably starting with a One Pi or a Two Pi. My problem is that I do not do wordwork and cannot afford to have a cabinet maker make my boxes.

From what I can tell, most commercially available empty boxes are either for subwoofers or the currently popular small drivers. Where can I get pre-fabbed (flat pack is OK) boxes suitable for the One or Two Pi designs? I am aware of the Parts Express knock down PA cabinets for 12-, 15-, and 18-in drivers, but nothing for 8- or 10-in drivers.

Has anyone discovered a source?

Thanks,
ccvogel

It's been a long while since I built a 2Pi but I think it's just 1 sheet of MDF, 30 bucks.

Gotta be a high school shop teacher who wants to make 100 bucks cutting the pieces.

Most lumber yards, NOT Home Centers will cut to order.

I once had a turning made for 50 bucks for a project by a counter guy at Constantines; try someone at Woodcraft or Rockler.

Call all the classified ads for "home repairs, finish carpenter, cabinet-maker, wood floor installer"; someone there has to need an extra hundred bucks but insist on taking them the material and waiting while they cut it. Those guys never say NO to the next guy in the door and will leave you waiting for weeks.
