Thanks for the comments on the new box. It was just some 1/2" (maple I think) that I had laying around for ever that I cut and glued/nailed to the outside of the existing boxes. This gave me the option of not worrying how I blocked off the ports etc, just didn't have to finish em too nice. It's stained with Imperial Cherry, I like how it turned out.
Yep the main boxes have tops, they are sealed besides the 10" hole cut into the mounting side. The tops, sides and back of the main boxes are flat black because you can't see them anyway no real point in finishing them. The center box is finished on the front and top, with 10" mounting holes on each side. These are then bolted together with 12 1/4" bolts on either side with a rubber O-ring to seal.(a little silicone to make sure) This was just a quick build to I could keep the time down as I'm renovating our new house right now and time is at a premium right now. The other reason for 3 separate boxes was the weight issue and having to mount it under the screen. Thanks again for all the help, I'll try and build some diffusing panels for the side walls on the weekend. If the wife lets me.
