I agree, vibrations could be a big problem depending on the woofer you use. What I usually do, since I hate bracing, is make one additional front panel (assuming your front is inset) and cut an identical hole in the middle as you did for the real front, then just put it in the middle of the box. As long as you are working with the table saw anyway its no big deal. The real problem comes when you don't have enough wood on the one sheet for it and you have to go buy a whole new sheet... :xeye:

Although, I found one site saying you don't need to add bracing for boxes under 5 cubes (which I personally disagree with):
