I have 6x9 Alpine Speakers there.... but it could be cool, I guess, to make
some clean oval cutouts in the board, and then attach hinges at the base
inside, and a little hole or handle... magnetic clasp... interesting idea!

However, I pack my underseat area so insanely full, will all kinds of junk
that I really do not want to have access to (just there for those crazy
situations like when I happen to need a shovel, or something) so I imagine
that if I opened these doors I still would not be able to easily access my
stuff.
