Hi, guys.

I'm planning on doing DIY speakers in the future.

I'm thinking on using Bamboo plywood, is this a good idea?
Anyone knows kung saan may nabibiling bamboo plywood?

Tia!

Definitely better than other types of plywood in terms of stiffness. As to the source of bamboo plywood, I'm also looking for one. Hintay tayo ng replies from other members, baka may alam sila.

South Sea Veneer is a locator of ours in Mabalacat. I think what they do have is only veneer slices and not the ply type. They have beautiful real wood veneers though. Only that they do not sell veneer pieces but they contract veneering for furniture manufacturers and other customers.

Below is a open baffle I made which was veneered by them

Switch channel ka pala. What's is going into the car? Fancy false floor in the trunk or straight installation?

I'm thinking using an APPJ in the car. Then do a radical floor mounted 4" full range speakers. Boxes will be false floors on the driver and passenger sides. My friend did this with his separates and the path lengths it produced were long enough to to create a deep center image. Sound reflects off the windshield practically doubling the path lengths.

Wow, that would be a very challenging project. Hirap nun.

I also opted to use tubes for my car audio, but I decided against it. Mas maraming hassle e kesa benefits. At baka masira ang tubes sa intense vibration, sayang lang :)

A money-is-no-object :) Audio Nirvana project that I'm doing right now will utilize this ebony wood veneer:


Ply laminated with this veneer


I got this solid wood that I will use for the framing of the baffle.

May konting difference lang sa 5.6mk2 like volume adjustment to compensate for doubling of panel where the AN sits. Also, I will try a downfiring port as requested by owner. If this will not work well, I can simply close the bottom port and go back to the original design.

Parang kensington ang itsura with maybe a minor variation.

Using manual planers to shape the baffle framings of this AN cabinet. The hardwood is very hard to work on.


Some more routing and planing to do.
