I like open-back construction using 3/4" MDF for the baffle and sides. Size: 20 5/8" Wide, 21" High, 11 1/2" Deep. I like this width because it's the same as a standard 19" rack. With an open-back design, you can use pretty much any sizing that the speaker can fit into and that meets you needs. I'd like to hear other ideas too - this is a good question!
