Aluminium speaker housing (box)

[Ludwig von wigbearer]

Hi all, as in the heading is an alloy box a good idea for a speaker housing or is plastic better, the main reason I am asking is that I am
interested in trying to make an acoustic smoker, any ideas welcome,

I would have thought the sound would resonate more in a tin box and distort the sound, that's why speaker boxes are wood or plastic to stop that happening.

Good morning and thanks for the info, i will try a bean tin as i dont like corn, would a half or a full tin be best
and also would a tin from aldi be ok or should i get heinz.

regards john

I love the humour behind the suggestion,
Perhaps you should eat the Beans or corn then wash the tin out and put the speaker in it then pack cotton wool or other wadding around the speaker.
Or you could just go to any number of dealers who will sell you a speaker housing box.

Aldi beans it is then, i have may be 20 tanks needing this mod, do you think i will need a speaker after eating all those beans?

Definitely no speaker needed. Just #pötpötpöt while going rc. No need for a smoker too. All delivered with the beans.
