[QUOTE="Rotelman, post: 802188, member: 19028"] I've had a similair problem with some old speaker enclosures. I initially kept the externals untouched and lined the internal space on the sides, top and bottom with some 8mm plywood glued and screwed to the externals (also consider some pine battens in the corners). This forms a portal frame and when sequenced for the broken panel last, this pulled the damaged external panel mostly into it's position. With an adequate amount of woodglue, the pulling in of the external panel caused the glue to ooze out through any openings thus sealing it from the inside. Once stabalised, I fiddled with the problematic external piece until the fit was good and external alignment was OK. (You won't necessarily get it perfect...) Left it to set and cure and then sanded and treated the external timber. The crack, marks and a narrow strip that was open, is slightly visible after the fix upon close inspection, but the external is now smooth, sturdy and solid and internally it's sealed. Worked a charm and was very satisfying to make them sing properly again. [/QUOTE]
