eh...if I was going to do something like this I would sweat the details and smoothe out these parts...since that speaker box is in the way, you won't be opening the storage compartment....so smoothe out that area....

I think if they wanted to sweat details, they could recarpet that enclosure first.

if you really wanted to you could make your amp inclosure with the plexi and cut into either the bottom under the amp some slots for cooling or you could cut slots/design into the top of the plexi for cooling really amps don't get all that hot unless your are running them too hard
