With that many subs whats the point of going sealed? Before sub displacement your looking at 4.4 cu ft, that doesn't sound like much space. You'd be better off with a pair of 12's in a ported box, or maybe even four 10's in a ported box.

jigsaw will work for circle cuts, but straight cuts your going to want atleast a circular saw. A wall is a lot more work then it looks like, you should start with a dual 12 box. Ported is the best choice IMO especially for the subs you have

If you wanna be loud, then ported is the only way to go.

Yea, a jigsaw will work for the holes, and could work for the straight cuts but it'll be a ***** doing the long cuts and you leave open the chance for mistakes with the cut. Better off going to Home Depot and buying a $30 circular saw if you don't already have one. Or even have someone that builds boxes for a living do it for you.

You ever use a jigsaw to make long cuts? It will take forever and i doubt you will be able to make a straight cut with it.

Sanding isn't going to cut it IMO, the only other option would be a flush trim bit, but you need a router for that.

Do it the right way or else itll look like shit and leak air all over the place
