[QUOTE="lowcel, post: 8472982, member: 603233"] Thank you. To start I used a 3/8" roundover bit on the front of the outer baffle. On the rear of the outer baffle I used a rabbet router bit. This made the vinyl job much easier. On the vinyl I used DAP Weldwood Landau glue. I applied it to both the enclosure and the vinyl. I then laid the vinyl on the enclosure (while fighting the wind) and smoothed it out with a wood roller. I then cut plenty of slits in the sub openings and then heated the vinyl and smoothed it out with my fingers around the inside of the sub opening. Once I had it how I wanted, which only took a couple of minutes for each opening, I took the knife and cut along the rabbet cut which made it very easy. Honestly, I think the key is the [URL="http://www.dap.com/dap-products-ph/weldwood-landau-top-trim-high-heat-resistant-contact-cement/"]Landau glue[/URL]. It is more expensive but it is worth the money.
