I think this is a deja vu thread; didn't I just read that?
Bill had the method for sanding down the urethane for a fine finish. I never tried for fine with urethane. You might go back and do the wet sanding as described. If it were solid wood I would say take it down with a belt sander but it's veneer as I recall so you can't do that.
These certainly won't be the last speakers you build so maybe you should enjoy them and think about an oil based finish for next time.Good 'ole Watco applied with the Tage Frid (He just passed on BTW, G-d rest his soul) method gives outstanding results. Best is my and every other pro woodworkers Grand dad's method for Tung oil in 6 easy steps. It's at the URL. There's also a video you can buy from Taunton Press that features Frank Klaus, "now we apply the Warnish" using much the same technique. They also have one with Jim Minnick who discusses the chemistry of various film and penetrating finishes from a chemists a pro finishers POV.
