it is my understanding (have not tried it myself) that the varnish takes care of some midband nasties,damps the cone .You COULD overdo it and kill the dynamics but from what I have read on the subject it is more like do a coat,let it dry,listen.It seems most do about 3-5 coats .Also it must be thinned out,not straight from the can.
If you want to try another cool project look at the "Afterburner" on the same site (DIY area).I built this as a bottom for my sattellites which sit on top and am VERY happy with the bass,also the look is cool too.I used a birch veneer plywood which takes a nice finish,tad expensive though.But the beauty of that project is you can experiment with various top mounted tweeters as long as they are efficient and this baby plays LOUD with little power,I hit it with 10 watts.
many possibilities and all are valid designs,and all are bottom line plain ass fun
