Well it tool my long enough but all the other side projects I had on the go are about to wrap up so I can finally get back on to this build. Back in February I build 2 speaker enclosures in this post
here

The Center channel will be similar with 2 differences. It will have a kerfed corner on both sides and the top will be the same finish as it will be exposed but the weird part is I am going to try chamfering the wood on the top leading edge (with the kerf) to hide the plys. Never tried it before so we’ll see how it goes. Tonight I hope to get through cutting out all the basic panels as well as rounding the base plate which helps form the kerf.

Here’s one of the previous enclosures unfinished as a reminder.
