[QUOTE="Subz, post: 1291169, member: 564589"] Well I finally finished it. Took a few hardships along the way but everything worked out. Before: [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y3/SwampWise/DSC03279.jpg[/IMG] After: [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y3/SwampWise/DSC03282.jpg[/IMG] I took the suggestion and made it from 3/4" MDF. Dimensions are 14"T x 11"W x 4"D1 x 6"D2. First put it together with everything except for the back with wood glue, then screwed everything with 1.25" course thread drywall screws. Sealed all inside corners with White Lightening caulk (applied through the hole for the rear corners). Then just used some flat black spray paint. Once I had everything down, the sub wasn't sealing with the provided gasket sections (you could push down on the woofer and hear a whistle of leaking air), so I put weatherstripping on it and that sealed it right up. Used a 2" hole saw for the terminal cap. All in all it turned out better than I expected. Purchased everything except for the terminal cup from Home Depot for $20 (Plywood circular saw blade, jig saw wood blades, weatherstripping, 2x4' MDF, wood glue). I had a couple gaps but sealed them with caulk and they're hardly noticeable. The flash of the camera makes it look oddly two toned but you can't tell it in regular light. [/QUOTE]
