TY. Here are a couple in-process pics, and more.

All those 2X2" posts couple the rear and front panels and of course stiffen everything, even tho the front panel is 1-3/4" thick. The volume of each subenclosure (for 2 drivers) is c. 12 cubicfeet. Each system is anchored to the wall with only 2 screws, long 3/8" lagscrews pulling the entire box against the wall via a pair of 2X4s running edge-to-edge, mostly and partially visible below. I used an automotive floorjack to hold the boxes against the wall while anchoring them.

Each channel is wired with 8g. cable composed of 4-times-14g. AC-power cable, doubled.

These SWs are both the stereo SWs for the combined 2- and multichannel audio system and are dual-mono SWs for the '.1' channel of video discs. I feed the former from the bass-channel outputs of the dbx DriveRackPA filter/crossover (using a 40Hz filterpoint and 2nd-order slopes) and the latter from the '.1'-channel output of the conrad-johnson MET1 multichannel preamp. Those 2 completely separate signals are combined by the little Behringer mixer seen in the pics.

My system is relatively complex but sounds quite cohesive, at least to me (and several others, some of whom are real GEAs).

I again thank Jeffrey Glowacki of Sonic Craft for his advice and encouragement on this project.
