Can I amplify speakers with a wooden cubicle?

I'm entering the world of vinyl, and starting with the lowest of budgets. I'm going to use a Logitech Z313 speaker set, which actually sound good on my PC, and a Audio Technica AT-LP60. Mind, this is just for the first year or so.

What I was going to do was just set them on the counter, but then I wondered if I could aid performance with a cubicle configuration to put them in. It would be built of pine- again, on the cheap- but would it keep sound from being lost in open air? Should it be carpeted on any of the interior surfaces?

It's just an idea borne of audio ignorance. I couldn't squeeze anything out of Google.

Set them on the counter. I'm not sure what you mean by "wooden cubicle", but I doubt any additional structure will help.

Are you thinking of using the corners of the cubicle as a horn? That was my interpretation of your post.

Rooms are rooms, as you scale the dimensions down, you scale the frequencies up.

The placement of speakers in a cubicle can be very important. Corner placement, or even placement in  a corner with a table top merged into it can kick up the bass, perhaps even too much. Let your ears and real world experimentation be your guide!
