Oops! There goes another Mountain Juke Box! (*05/04/2009*) Update
DaOld Man:
No, I didnt think negatively about your input. I value input, good and bad.
I have never been a good carpenter, and it shows I know, that I am still learning, so I appreciate all the advice and help I can get.
Now, the perforated metal I am using is different from Mountains, but I couldnt find what he used at Loews, so of the designs they had, I got the one that i liked the most.
I have since painted the inside of the air vent with a black permanent marker, it looks a lot better.
Mountain did his speakers different from mine. I placed the speaker bar where its grill would show, whereas Mountain made a grill for his.
Look at Javeryh's thread, he copied Mountains speaker grill I think. I think NVTS copied Mountains grill too.
You have to go back quite a few pictures to see my speaker setup.

Actually, that is what I did. I covered the panel with cabinet grade laminate (the long oval was already cut in the MDF) and then flipped the panel and routered 1/4" of the MDF away from the opening to allow the speaker grill to be mounted as far forward as possible. The laminate edge does not "hold" anything, the speaker is mounted seperately. I sanded the edges of the laminate with 600 grit sandpaper, then 1000 to give it a finished look.

If I am understanding it correctly, the edge is laminated and the excess laminate is routed off? The same for the rear panel?

This may help you understand how I did it.
