I love it!  I've also put a speaker into an ammo box for use with a Ruby.  It's about as airtight as it gets, though the handle needs to have some attention due to its tendency to rattle.

That's awesome. How's it sound? Specifically, do you get get anything like decent bass response using four of those little speakers in a closed cab?

Its sounds a lot better than I expected in a lo-fi kinda way and does have some bottom end (for what it is)... I'll see if I can get a recording of it to post sometime.

Looks nice. Much cleaner than my builds of similar types of things.
