Wood and me don't get along very well, so constructing speakers

If I were forced to do it again, and had access to the necessary
equipment, I reckon I'd use =10mm thick aluminium plate for the
cabinets, and not wood.

If you can machine 10mm ally plate, you should be able to machine wood.

I can't.

But if I had the equipment to cut aluminium and if I were motivated
to make some speakers, that's what I'd use.

Wood splinters and splits.

Aluminium behaves itself.

But 20mm MDF can be machined to high accuracy. It doesn't splinter, but
I suggest you don't breath in the dust produced when machining it!
