Got delivery of my 2 Pi tower parts yesterday and am looking forward to starting my build. I have the initial cuts done and will work on the baffle holes next.

My question is re: front baffles. I would like to flush mount both drivers (I measured the depth of each as 5mm please correct me if that is incorrect). I do have a plunge router but I have also heard that glueing 5mm plywood to the front with cutouts the size of the external radius works just as well as routing the correct depth into the MDF. I like the plywood idea because it leaves me more material for the mounting screws to bite into but I'm worried about resonances and uneven gluing.

Has anyone had experience with this method?

I'm using 3/4" MDF and would plan to use 5mm ply from the hardware store (5mm underlayment) if I go that route.
