regarding the enclosure design, it depends on if you want "good" (casual listening, background listening) or great. Great is a serious undertaking IMO, with skills and software modeling I am incapable of :).
As an example, I would consider something like the sb radio and boom to be "good" but in general would not sit is a chair in front of them (critical listening). Having said that, I have three thoughts: 1) This is a real good basic info for speaker building article I found about a year ago. Long, covers alot, but also very readable and easy to understand: https://www.sound-au.com/articles/enclosures.htm 2) You have to eliminate all rattles in that cool box. 3) In your shoes I might consider buying small satellite speakers, and installing them, unmodified, in your enclosure as a unit. With this approach, one thing to avoid or minimize, is to have the speaker recessed in any way. Ideally, the front surface of the speaker enclosure should be flush with the outside surface of the box, or recessed as little as possible. The speaker was probably designed for no obstructions to the sides/above/below in front of the face (other that the speaker grill frame). Also, you would want to buy a speaker that is not ported I'm not recommending speakers to use, but I have heard these, and they aren't bad: https://www.qacoustics.com/collections/bookshelf-speakers/products/3010-compact-bookshelf-speaker-pair I am including the link to illustrate the "type" of speaker to consider if you want to try #3. But, these are ported, so I would look for something similar that is not ported. Some have options to have the port plugged or not based on placement.
