... you should have no problem. BB is an excellent choice for cabinets and just as good as MDF, maybe better. Just make sure the cabinet is adequately braced. Don't use regular 7-ply birch plywood from one of those big box home centers. There are usually voids within the plies that make it unsuitable for quality loudspeaker cabinets. Baltic birch should be available from a quality lumber or hardwood supplier. It's sold in either 60" x 60" or 48" x 96" sheets. Remember to get 3/4" 13-ply Baltic birch. There's some cheap Chinese birch plywood out there and it's not very good
