Building your own enclosures


I'm looking into buying new speakers, and I can get great discounts on in-wall speakers. I was wondering if anybody has had experience with building enclosures to make in-wall speakers into a floorstanding form? My main concern is sound quality, but I have a lot of experience in furniture building and am fairly confident in building an MDF cabinet to mount the speakers. The speakers I am looking at are the new Infinity CAS 3.1. Also, suggestions for the cabinet design are welcome!

I recently heard a pair of Brines Acoustics FT1600 Mk II's. These were manufactured speakers that retailed for $900 plus shipping. They are also available as 'flats' (precut cablinet sections ready for gluing) and pre-assembled cabinets or just the plans for far less. They are a single driver design and sound as good as anything I have ever heard. I just ordered the flats. They are also very efficient. Too good not to look into.
