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, :thumbup:

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.

I love the humour behind the suggestion, :haha:
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. :thumbup:
Or you could just go to any number of dealers who will sell you a speaker housing box.

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