Suburuguru, sounds like you are an actual speaker hobbyist. To me, it's like being in R&D. Even the best around have a 95%(at least) failure rate. Yes, it is a wonderful hobby. But, no matter what you do, you gain experience and knowledge from it(the most important tools in this hobby). There is no perfect speaker, and it will not be coming in the near future. But, IT SURE IS FUN(and frustrating) chasing the Holy Grail. Gmkowal, I think your using MDF for your first speaker is a wise move. Look at your first project as more of a learning experience, rather than building a masterpiece. You may want to invest in cheaper parts for this go around, or build from a kit. If you feel comfortable in this area(or come to the conclusion that you should employ the work of a cabinet maker), on your next project look into multilayered enclosures(tons of directions to go in this area - the granite is interesting). Good luck! Please keep us posted, and don't hesitate to ask for advice.
Speaker Enclosures
I have recently come into some granite counter top material(A neighbor is in the remodeling business and offered it to me). Has anyone had any success trying to make speaker enclosures out of this stuff? I have enough to make two medium enclosures but have no clue if it is even feasible to attempt. If any of you DIY'ers out there have any info I would appreciate it before I bite off more than I can chew.
