[QUOTE="Byrd2, post: 787989, member: 384"] You can get self adhesive vinyl wrap from Builders Warehouse. I would think this will be the easiest to start with and therefore will give the neatest result. You should be able to get very thin solids +3mm - SeanS found some here in Cape Town. Cant remember where he found it though. If you are going for a real wood finish I would recommend this over actual veneer unless you are getting a pro company (eg Veneer Concepts) to apply the veneer. I imagine this will not be cost effective though. Veneer is really difficult to apply properly Remember connectors on speakers dont always need to be "binding posts" they can even be things like speakon connectors which can sometimes be cheaper, but you would need to diy specialised cables. Bolts with holes drilled through can also be effective. Always a balancing act between price, willingness to diy, required finish and ingenuity. [/QUOTE]
