69 Camaro

I am going to build a sealed enclosure out of 3/4" mdf for a JL Audio 10" W0
sub that will be bolted up in the center of the rear deck inside the trunk,
allowing the sub to fire thru into the car's interior.

My question is if anyone can provide advise on how to 'finish' it nicely.
In other words I need to make it look good after I have cut the rear deck
cover, jute padding, and sheet metal to allow the waves into the interior.

My thought was to cut the rear deck cover, jute padding, and sheet metal in
a square fashion, about 1" larger than necessary for the actual speaker to
see thru, then out of MDF create a 'wall' that sticks up maybe 3/4" from the
box and creates a square border. I would then using some wood molding
material or something create a frame that fits that border exactly, cover it
in speaker mesh material (like you see on home speaker box covers) and then
it would fit over the board on the inside, then using 3 screws (2 sides and
1 bottom) screw in horizontally from the frame into the border.

This would I think finish it off nicely but I wanted to get any comments I
can or other ideas on how to make this work!

sheet metal? i thought metal was terrible to use for sound purposes

i could be wrong
