[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 5619, member: 3"] Good afternoon! Some good news: I was wanting to use marine ply for the speaker cabinets because I couldn't find anything except that and normal pine ply. My brother works as a buyer for a construction company, so he has been shopping around for me. The best price available for 16mm marine ply is R 980.00 for a sheet. It isn't really that expensive if you consider that a full sheet of 16mm MDF from Builders is around R425.00 for a sheet. He came back to me yesterday and said he has found 16mm Meranti ply at R500 per sheet. I am not sure if it includes VAT or not, but even if it doesn't, the extra R70 is still alot cheaper than the marine ply. I am now considering using that very strongly. Meranti has very minimal wood movement, and is extremely stable in terms of warping, twisting, etc. In plywood form I think it could be a winner. Ian. [/QUOTE]
