Indeed.

I've heard staggering sound from cardboard, aluminium and perspex enclosures.

Are they proper wood?
Proper speakers should be constructed of proper wood.

Mark

and not improper wood as that definitely isnt meant as a speaker

Fake wood, dear boy. Fake wood.
Things like chipboard and MDF.

Re: The Response to FPOTD thread

Unfortunately for you, chipboard and MDF are far better materials for producing good sounding speakers with than straight timber. I'm not actually aware of anyone using it for speaker construction at the moment.

I've never actually watched it, (keep forgetting it's on) but I was going for a generic check-com type reply.
