[QUOTE="moniker, post: 8676332, member: 677072"] So I said before that I could handle building the enclosure (my framing experience and tree work skills led me to believe this, 0 finish carpentry experience!), but after a failed attempt today and wasting more material than I can afford, I could certainly benefit from some advice on the procedure. I have my panels cut and am ready for assembly. This is the design I'm working with, from Soundqubed: [IMG]http:////applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https://soundqubed.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/10-Single-Ported.jpg&key=d5d393476dcc7d027f10461ff56c1a6f424819775ee24b67d68504d0d2af3fd1[/IMG] No compressor or brad-nailer. Do have pilot-countersink bit and screws but that was kind of a pain. I've heard that you can just hand nail, and would like to go this route but I want to get a second opinion, and recommendation on nail style/size (working with 3/4 mdf). And if you recommend I stick with screws, what size? Soundqubed said #8 screw @ 2 1/4'', but that seems huge, no? My biggest headache is figuring out the stages of assembly. Someone recommended separating the port assembly from the sides, and to begin with attaching the sides to the bottom. If you look at the design that I'm using and are a NOOB like me, then that doesn't seem to straight-forward. Would you consider (B) (B) and (C) the sides, even though one of the B's is the Sub face? And would that make (D) (E) and (F) the 'port assembly'? I'm pretty unsure about how to fit the interior portions of this enclosure; which piece to install and when. Attaching the sides to the bottom is pretty simple; just keep rotating the piece so that you are screwing or nailing into a piece that is standing vertically, on edge. But how would you stabilize the interior portions while assembling, considering the box will be sitting on the back or sub face at that point, and the port pieces would be hanging horizontally in said configuration? Totally stumped. Thanks for any advice you guys may have to offer! [/QUOTE]
