[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 6447956, member: 554493"] Why? Because it's been done for decades, and the only time you get good results is when using THICK aluminum, or aluminum in a honeycomb shape. There's a speaker called the KEF Muon which is routed out of a single piece of aluminum which apparently sounds decent, but it also costs over $140,000. No one is trying to deter you, but it has been done before, and it costs so much money to be done correctly that even when it's properly executed, wood is still a better choice. Metal is NOT acoustically dead at all, and to make it such, you need a piece so thick that its resonant frequency is nowhere near what the speaker can play. [/QUOTE]
