MDF may or may not sound better than chipboard, but one thing's certain: it would weigh a TON. Also, you can't just re-configure cabs to make them a more convenient size/shape. Do that and you'll throw all their acoustic design parameters into a mincer. Unless you work to a proper design and use something light and strong like spruce ply, you're just going to end up with a pair of very heavy honk-boxes that will sound like s**t and have zero re-sale value.

Re. your reply to bass_ferret: [i]"I would turn them on their side but there's no carpet on the arse of them!"[/i] - well there's your answer straight off: buy some carpet and some glue (Blue Aran do both, I believe), and turn them on their side. Problem solved! [/quote]
yeah your right i,ll turn em on their side and buy some carpet cheaper option many thanks for all your advice!

i would turn them on the side but theres no carpet on the arse of them! and its sh*tty old chipboard and mdf might sound better.

hi all,my band at the moment usea peavey hisys3 15" bass bins as part of our pa,only trouble is in narrow bars we have a space issue what i was thinking was that i could reshape the bins so that the 2 x15" speakers are on top of each other as opposed to side by side? would that setup affect the bass quality? im quite handy at woodwork and i have plenty of 1/2" mdf!

hi i,l buy your nobel bass pedal pm me your address.
