hi captrajesh -
perhaps, not a good idea to use multiple screws - perhaps a single bolts from top to bottom (as seen in the second magico mini photo) - just fevicol held under pressure until dry will give a good build - but in the tropics, fevicol and mdf expand during the humid season - and you might see minute cracks on the exterior - and that will mar a flawless finish.
better to run, say, three bolts through and through - and tighten at either end with nuts which are recessed into the MDF - with fevicol applied sparsely between the individual boards - allow three days to dry before further work on it
all the internal can be accessed through the woofer opening - and a removable top may not be necessary ( i like the arrangement because i do not like removing the woofer once it is mounted - and when the cross-over needs a part to be changed. or the wiring has to be replaced - prefer to lift the lid!)
if the sidewalls are going to be only one inch thick - then braces (as you have suggested) will become necessary
the costs-
two 8' x 4' MDF boards = 2900 rupees (1450x2)
fevicol half-kg = 180 rupees (?)
three stainless steel bolts threaded at both ends (11") = 360 rupees
N.C. lacquer, sanding sealer, sandpaper, black stainer = 1100 rupees
add to this cost of labour of carpenter and cost of labour of polisher (who might hire a compressor at 500 rupees per day for spray application of lacquer- it will take 4 days to apply the necessary coats.
