Numerous reasons not to use hardwoods to build a speaker. You want good quality plywood. And don't fret over all the opinions you'll find about overly expensive Baltic Birch or Apple Ply or any of the other types better suited to building something expensive.
The Big Box stores all sell $50 a sheet 3/4" plywood that's good enough and unlikely to have voids with loose internal veneers that could rattle. For that matter, quality builders like Bill Fitzmaurice advocate 1/2" plywood with adequate bracing but I'd stick to 3/4" because fancy bracing requires woodworking skills that may be beyond you.
The 2Pi speaker is oh-so-simple to build and sounds better than the $ investment with excellent bass and an easy to drive impedance curve. The 4Pi is comparable to the very best speakers at any price but requires a much higher Dollar investment. Breaking all the rules here, I have a used set of 2Pi drivers, woofers and tweeters, sitting on a shelf I'll offer up for $100 plus whatever the shipping costs might be. I'm not certain but I think I recall that a single sheet of plywood is all you need.
Do your research and PM me if interested.
