Tim,

Cabinets are stacked all the time. It wouldn't hurt, however, to put
some carpet and/or carpet padding between the cabinet surfaces.

You should start playing around with the numbers that I recently
provided. Unless I made an error in relaying the information, those are
the general numbers.

Making a (rough) cardboard model, will help you visualize the
enclosure. On manilla or thin cardboard, trace out a squared up 4"x8"
rectangle. Double up the material, and cut out (2), at the same time.
Divide the (cut out) 4"x8" rectangle into (4) 2"x4" sections. Again, cut
two sheets at the same time. Now you should have (8) 2"x 8" panels.
(4) will include the front, back, and sides. The other (4) should be cut
exactly in half, at the same time. Two of the (8) 2"x2" panels represent
the top and bottom. The other six represent potential internal panels
and a panel to double the thickness of the baffle board, behind where
the driver will mount. The driver is very heavy, and this area around the
bolt holes must be beefed up, and the baffle board (in general)
reinforced with perpendicular bracing tied to the main infrastructure of
the cabinet. Much more on this later

Let me know if you have any interest in the models. If so, I think you
should make a full size one out of large card board sections.
