Speaker cabinet advice (Tritrix build)
Hi guys
I have put down the hard earned on a speaker kit but this didn't include the cabinets. I wanted a specific look to the cabinets and plan to build them soon. Trouble is all the research I have done doesn't tell me if I am barking up the wrong tree so am now asking the question here.
My idea is to build the cabinets out of cut out ply rings laminated together with a striped cherry/maple baffle. The intricate details I haven't worked on yet but am sure there is nothing that can't be overcome. As a quick idea of what I am talking about I found a youtube video where the guy made a side table much the same way I want to execute these speakers. Just imagine there is front and rear baffles on the following photo.

The speakers I will be building are the Tritrix Sealed of which there are thousands built around the globe.
I hope to be able to find some Baltic Birch somewhere in SE Queensland to make them but just want to make sure this idea is OK. Main thing I am worried about is being edge grain ply that I might come across an unseen void in the ply which could cause troubles with air exiting out the void causing problems.
Building the cabinets won't be an issue as I have all the tools and equipment needed, just not the experience in building cabinets from ply. I know MDF is the preferred medium but I hate the stuff with a passion.
I hope someone on here has the experience to say yes or no or what a stupid idea.
Thanks guys.
