I've seen worse systems that ended up looking OK. However, I'm not sure about the smell. Let me know how you make out with it.
I fixed up a pair of Behringer Truth biamped studio monitors that my son shipped home from SC. His packing was totally inadequate and, being about 30 lbs each, one of the cabinets was totally dismembered when it arived home. Of course, the UPS insurance was useless. Anyways, I put the system back together and reinforced all of the joints on both boxes with construction adhesive. Structurally, this worked great. However, even 6 months later, when the speakers are cranking and there's enough air moving out of the ducted port to blow out a match, the smell of construction adhesve is pretty strong. It likely permeated the acoustic insulation inside the boxes. It will probably dissipate some day, but it is an annoyance right now.
Good luck with your project David - keep us posted.
