[QUOTE="kolakidd, post: 844628, member: 14465"] Metal Centre can do bent sheet metal, I went the route of designing enclosures, and getting the spec's right is not simple for a beginner. The issue was that when I actually got the quote I realised it wasn't worth the effort. It was around R4k for a single enclosure. Other options I have used: Interscale M boxes from RS components where reasonable at a point I bought an enclosure from TangMonster which was excellent quality. I had aluminium laser cut and combined this with wood for these mono blocks: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/tubes-valves/302586-50w-monoblock-engineers-amp-post5389142.html - That's Rhodesian Teak and Aluminium I had aluminium laser cut and use aluminium angle to make boxes, this was cheap, but the finish was okay-is. I can't find them now, but I know there was enclosure scaffolding available in the classifieds section, I suppose at a push you could try maker slide for this purpose. Hifi2000 out of Italy seems to have the cheapest enclosures from both a product cost and shipping cost stand point, they are the enclosures sold on DIYAudio. [/QUOTE]
