Weight
<< < (3/3)
chrisindfw:
So what would you suggest to make a cab out of if I want something strong but yet not "friggin" heavy? Also something that wont require 15 passes of sanding and priming just to paint it.


Thanks
Tilzs:
Aluminium, but that would be expensive.
Santoro:
To avoid weight, my next cab will probably have plywood sides, 1/2" MDF front & top, and Masonite back panels.  I am still debating frame vs no frame.  No frame is obviously lighter.

Plywood, and don't paint it, stain it.

 heh!  interesting lightweight idea...

  make the internal frame suppoorts with 1*1's or PVC or thin metal tubes.. ect.

 then cover the frame with cloth  or  cardboard, paperboard...ect.

 since its not going in an arcade where you have to worry about someone cutting the outsides and stealing the components... it should be fine.
