In Reply to: RE: Recycled wood for speaker cabinets? posted by airtime on October 22, 2016 at 18:33:26
Thanks for the info. I have none myself, but there is a local shop that specializes in reclaimed wood and wood furniture. From the pictures they have a fairly large stock in a warehouse. I would have to travel up there to talk and see what they have.
I wanted to find out if it was worth the trip up (and potentially getting excited about some wood they had up there) before I went. Now I can look forward to going up and looking about !!
Maple armoire - bet there is a fair lot of wood in one of those!!

Before I moved I recycled a very large cherry armoire. Took that wood 2800 miles with me.
I have a collection of cocobola, REAL black ebony that you can NOT get now, tulip wood and a few others out there I've forgotten about. Not enough exotics to do anything but very small projects with. But one day I'll find something to use them for.
The Material of the Coffin has Smaller effect.
But the better the drivers(and cross0ver) the more the cabinet resonances have an affect on the speaker coloration. There are usually some very strong narrow resonances in all but the most heroic cabinets and the cabinet has much larger radiating area than a speakers drivers(except a planar which has no cabinet). So the better the speaker design the more important the cabinet construction.
Thanks. I realize the construction quality is critical irrespective of my material choice. I am certainly in no hurry, and I only want to do this once. I will work out every detail before I get started - probably will build the enclosures 10 times in my head before I actually start work (or purchasing materials).

Ouch..... should I go back to my Radio Shack Realistic drivers ???
