A friend of mine gave me these book shelf speakers, but the foam surrounds had deteriorated and crumbled. So I took out the speakers and decided to reuse the boxes.
This is what I have to work with. These where 2 way speakers with a bass port.
I found these in my garage the other day looking for something else. I forgot that I even had them. They have to be 15 years old, but brand new in the box. Good stuff back in the day.
When I layed the template on the box it became clear that it wasn't going to be as easy as cutting a new hole. There was no material where the mounting screws needed to be.
So I found some 3/8" Baltic plywood to remake the mounting surface.
I drilled some entry holes and used my scroll saw to cut the hole.
Nice clean cut with no splintering.
I used the new mounting boards to mark what needed to be cut out on the boxes and cut them out with a coping saw.
And this is what it looks like so far.
