I would be inclined to use 2x2's behind the first panel so that you have enough meat to sink its screws into.

For the gasket, I would think that you want a soft foam so that it compresses easily, and if need be, replace each time you open up the front panel, I can't tell from your link if your neoprene roll does that without feeling it.

Sorry, I know nothing about veneering, and have only helped apply it once, using contact adhesive and 1/4" dowels to position it over the substrate, and then carefully remove one at a time to lower the oversize veneer onto the panel.

This is all subject to GM's approval and his say is final.
VolvoHeretic,

Dual woofers are going to be horizontal and I agree I can have a complete new front panel for dual woofers when I am ready. For the dual woofers, I will be using bigger horn (511B) and the horn will be perched on top of the speaker cabinet with different XO.

So, for single woofer - according to your current cut plan. For dual woofer, I simply replace the entire front panel with a new panel which takes dual woofers and place the horn on top of the cabinet.

Of course, once GM approves we can finalize.

Thank you,
Sri
