Time to build a box: Material?
OK, so I "dissasembled" my P5 gloatspeakers... time to start planning the new cabs. For you veteran DIYers, is there a significant difference between MDF/particleboard (what the originals were)? I was originally planning on solid oak, but frankly I don't know that these justify that kind of expense... after all they aren't JBLs ;)
Also... any tips on fabricating grilles and stretch the cloth? Not much experience with that.
Thanks for any tips or links!

MDF is utter crap and it shrinks 1-3%
Sorry chaps but that stuff will A kill you B drive you crazy C sound crummy,
Do youirself a favour and buy the best Quality ply you can get. In the grand scheme of things the cost of your sheet material is almost nothing compared to the cost of your compnents, If you do it my way you are doing it way better than factory. 13 ply baltic at least and lots of bracing . I am a shopfitter and cabientmaker trust me.
