Hello keithchip. You could make a hardboard back for the set, but make sure you provide plenty of ventilation holes in the cover at the top and bottom it. The tubes in a compact set like this produce quite a bit of heat in operation. You want that heat to dissipate out of the cabinet. Just my observation. Take care. - Gary
