Hi all,

I'm new here and wanted to share photos of cabinets I'm building for my MG 15's which I inherited.

Is it Solid wood or Veneer? By the way it already looks beautiful in Raw condition. What have you planned for final looks.

One more question. From where did you sourced the grill cloth. I am also building my speakers and need the same for them. This cloth will add a vintage look for sure.

Three layers. Middle is Birch Ply 24 mm. Outer is teak wood 1 inch. Inside is a 1/4 inch sound damping recycled plastic particle board equivalent of MDF. And Rockwool inside.

Got the cloth from Mojotone USA. https://www.mojotone.com/Cabinets_x/Grillcloth_x#/

New house you see..

Not day night difference though but may be 20%. Rest I will get to know in the days to come. I was too exhausted to evaluate anything last night.

Everything in place now.

16.25D x 18.75W x 53.25 H. (inches). Three ports. 4 inches diameter, 10.5 inches long. Tuned to 29 Hz. I'm actually using Aperiodic venting as used in the old Lockwood cabnets. With a shelf with felt lining below the driver, restricting flow to the ports which are in a chamber below. Usually Aperiodic vents are not tuned and have a shallow depth. However I'm tuning my ports to 29 Hz. I will test in my room and depending on how it sounds will stuff some or all the ports with sponge further enhancing the Aperiodic effect. That's only if the sound is too boomy. I may even seal the ports completely depending on how they sound.
