Strength is not the issue. Solid hardwoods move around a lot with varying environmental conditions. Your solid hardwood speaker box will literally rip itself apart in a matter of a few months.
If you have to have rosewood hardwood, use 1" plywood to construct the box, the veneer over with 1/2" rosewood.
