1/2" birch plywood with a sealing primer and bed liner sprayed on. The grate is expanded metal that I coated with bed liner. The tricky part was getting the right bottom corner to sit flush. Originally I bolted the face on but ended up going to Velcro. I also added subwoofer cloth to hide the cavity and sub.
Btw, mine is the first picture. Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier.

Thanks!
Which bedliner did you use? I just did my amp rack and it didn't turn out as textured as I wanted.

Whichever brand Home Depot sells. I will look and see if I have any left. I will post if I do. It has a really nice texture without being to much like wall texture.

You feel sealed sounds better than ported?

The answer to that will always depend on type of music and personal preference. It's not that one is better or worse than the other, they are just different.
