I'm debating on filling the curved area in the front with foam just to fill it up some, haven't decided yet, but I'm going to finish it up tonight.

Maybe you could cover the front of it with speaker grill cloth? I'm not sure if it would dampen the ports effectiveness?

Immacomputer, I wonder if it was the way that the plywood is cross-laminated with reference to the direction of the grain from one layer to the next? Bending WITH the grain is much easier that ACROSS it.

No, the bend was with the grain on both pieces and the two pieces came from the exact same section of wood. The only difference was the width of the wood but that should NOT make a difference... I'm baffled. Test pieces just never work for me; they lie and actually work perfect but the actual cut never does the same thing as the test piece.

The red piece was the test while the blue was the real piece. Both were cut to the same length, same depth, same spacing, and same grain layout. The test piece went right where it should but the real piece didn't. It ended up working but was a ***** and a half.

This semi-final product looks really nice! I'm jealous.

what id of done in the hollow area was get it filled with foam, and then cut holes vertiacally in the front and put some cupholders in there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
