If I may make a suggestion...I know that you said that the bracing added alot of ridgity...If you want to make it stronger I would cut some 1"x1" strips of MDF and attach them in the joints and then maybe add some across the sides between the strips.
Actually, I planned on trying out some triangles in the front corners to further reinforce those. It would also help with the grill. I also thought about running a strip of wood parallel with the brace (one above and one below) that wouldn't really block airflow but tie the side walls together above and below the brace. Only problem is that it would block the subs from being loaded.

As for the strips in the corners, I didn't think that 1 X 1 in the corners would really do much?
