MoonBassAlpha Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'm blessed with an excess of 9mm ply from some recent building work. I'm thinking of re-housing a 10" Celestion neo. in it. Any thoughts? Wouldn't mind a tweeter to go with it too. Any suggestions. Cheers Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Brace it up real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Exactly, lots of bracing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Glue it together to make 18mm ply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fairly light (~14lb iirc) but this has the potential to be a fair bit lighter. Doubling up might make putting a thin walled box together easier too. Hmm...

flyfisher Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ah, I didn't read the OP as wanting to build a particularly lightweight cab, just that there was a plentiful supply of 9mm ply. Interesting idea about using a holesaw to make one layer light before glueing together. There could be all sorts of permutations for optimum stiffness whilst avoiding nasty resonances. Could be an interesting project for anyone into CAD modelling and simulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
