[Amps] Sheet aluminum

[Steve Flood]

I have my homebrew amp project ready for the sheet metal order.  I already have a .125" thick aluminum front rack panel.  But how heavy should I go on the remaining panels?  I will have 2 side panels, a deck, an interior front panel (the real "front" of the rf compartment.  The other front panel will sit a few inches in front allowing space for meters and such), then of course top, bottom and rear panels.  I will hold everything together with half-inch aluminum angle stock.  I am thinking .068 to .075" thick for the deck and sides, then .050" for top, bottom, back.
