Building an enclosure for PL 700 II

[cloud9alpine]

I started building this enclosure today. Parts were CNC cut out of 3/8 MDO.

Ventilated top is. 040 brushed aluminum that I cut out.

There are dados on the back where a 3mm sheet of ACM with a cooling fan mounted on it will slide in from the side. Air will blow in past the heat sinks and out the top.

Aluminum feet are on order.

This will be my first time using wood veneer, any tips?

Also what kind of power is coming out of the fan plug in the back of the amp?

I was considering wrapping the enclosure in 3M di-noc woodgrain vinyl, because I'm pretty good at vinyl wrapping but thought it might not look as nice as real veneer, what do you guys think?

veneering is not hard at all.... go over to you tube and type wood veneer in the search bar and you will find all sorts of help....

Get good veneer and contact cement and you should be able to do it pretty easily. I used to do veneer on most of my projects. Constantine's was always my go to place for great quality veneer and woodworking supplies

Waiting for the aluminum feet, then I just need to mill out the back panel / fan mount.

I assume the Series II box dimensions are the same as the Series I?
