DIY Loudspeaker Cabinets & MDF Panels
Custom Speaker Cabinets
QTA Systems are able to provide a number of custom speaker cabinets and panels for the DIY home constructor. MDF cabinets are supplied as 'plain' blank speaker cases for real "do your own thing" and are available in a range of stepped volumes. These sizes accommodate the normal speaker cabinets associated with domestic sizes of driver / speaker diameters. These generally range in size from 4" to 8" diameter and NOT 18" to 24" trouser flappers.
DIY Loudspeaker Cabinets
Plain speaker cabinets
are internally braced, depending upon size, but do not have any
driver cut-outs. They are available in a self-coloured MDF finish or
veneered with rounded MDF edges on the front and rear panels.
A choice of standard veneers are available in Oak, Ash, Cherry.
The veneered speaker cabinets are supplied with hardwood lippings on the side panels which cover the raw, top and bottom, cabinet edges. The front and rear cabinet panels have rounded raw MDF edges. All speaker boxes are supplied flat packed unless otherwise agreed, which means YOU are required to assemble and glue the panels into place. Once assembled a certain amount of sanding will be required. To prevent particle shedding all plain MDF cabinets and raw MDF edges should be sealed with a good MDF sealer. At this stage further surface finishing may be undertaken as required.

Custom Loudspeaker Panels
In addition QTA can offer
a small panel machining service. Based upon your sketches and
drawings we can provide those slightly more difficult to do
loudspeaker panels and speaker boxes. In addition we are able to add
cut-outs to our standard plain cabinets. In this case, we usually
request you to supply a driver or port, as required, to use as a
template.
NOTE: Small means panels less than 800mm by 500mm by 25mm.
Note: The cost of Veneered Panels varies monthly and always upwards. The prices given as 'veneered' are only
approximate and should be used as a rough guide only.
The thickness of veneer on pre-veneered panels
is only about 0.4mm and will NOT tolerate further sanding without sanding through the material.
For hand veneered boards the starting veneer thickness is around (0.8 to 0.6)mm and hence much more robust.
However, there is a serious price uplift for hand veneered work so....and thats the way it is.
