Suited it's purpose, gave me a portable good sounding cab for my mini tube head. The only complaints I have to say is the thumb tacks aren't strong enough for the wood. I jammed in there. I'll probably order something that works better like screw caps and maybe a nicer material for the front.

I put a cheap pair of coaxial speakers in them, sound pretty good. Was surprised at how much bass they carried for such small boxes.

Very nice quality speaker box.We did a preliminary test and found it very easy to mount in a 5" speaker. 5.25" would probably also work easily.We are using this for testing, but the wood is nice enough that you could use these to build a home system.

The boxes look kinda cheap, but they aren't super expensive, so I suppose that's understandable. The real issue I had is that one of the two I ordered had a big crack right on the front, and when I ordered a replacement, the replacement has an even worse crack!!! 2/3 of them came cracked. That's terrible. If it weren't for the cracks, I suppose they would have been fine. Not nice enough to try to order again, though, so I will be seeking a full refund.

I am in the process of assembling a backup bass amp/preamp system to leave at my partner's house so I don't have to schlep any more stuff than I have to (we alternate rehearsals at our respective houses).I bought a Schoeder 10L lightweight 10" speaker and planned to use this 8" box as a mid-range bass speaker along with the Schroeder.It was very easy to "assemble" the box. I have done enough woodworking projects to know that it's generally a good idea to drill "starter" holes for the various screws. Doing so usually avoids accidentally splitting the wood, especially on lightweight woods, of which this box is certainly constructed.Other than that, there were no issues in assembly. I glued the insulation in place which kept it from getting caught in the drill bit while drilling the various speaker mounting pilot holes.They provided all the necessary hardware which was nice, even throwing in a few extra screws.My sole criticism is that the box was over-priced for its material and size, but I am finding that is generally true for just about every speaker box I have looked at in the last few years. It could be the increased cost of wood and the increased tariffs for foreign goods.Other than that, it sounds good and should last a long time.I don't agree with any of the negative reviews that criticize the quality. I think for the price, it is of sufficiently high quality for the purpose intended. I would certainly buy another one if I needed another small 8" enclosure.

This wood is not a bad product. Predrill your holes. Do not try to just run screws in with out doing that first. Yes it will split if you do not predrill. Its the kind of wood used. I am very pleased with mine. Stained up quite nicely as well. The included baffling worked nicely. It is backed with an adhesive, but I also used a spray adhesive inside the box. Trim your pieces down before you try to apply them. Great product for the price!

The front of the enclosure arrived with a crack from the speaker mounting hole to the bottom of the board. This looks and feels more like a toy than a piece of audio equipment. The enclosure does not have a large enough volume or porthole unless you are JUST wanting some SUBTLE bass out of a low powered bookshelf system or the like. If you crank it up too high the thing sounds like you are lighting fireworks in a tin can and the air movement through the very small porthole sputters aggressively. The plastic insert for the porthole is also EXTREMELY thin and flimsy, definitely less than 1mm thick.

These are nice, solid wood (not MDF) speaker boxes. I purchased 3 of these (2-5” and 1-8”) for a custom Bluetooth speaker project and they worked out perfectly. Since they are real wood boxes, they are super easy to paint or stain to suit your taste. One thing I will recommend is that you pre-drill all your screw holes. Since it’s real wood, if you don’t pre-drill your screw holes, you are very likely going to split the wood when screwing down the speakers/terminal block. Boxes may require light sanding before applying paint, stain or lacquer to achieve a superior finish. Very happy with this purchase.
