sketchup is one easy application to learn, take your time with it. make each piece or baffle at a time to its corresponding dimensions and youll end up with a box then you can cut circles and ports holes on the baffles them self. try it for a while youll get the hang of it.

I just downloaded the program last night, and sketchedup some boxes, but I can only save it to .skp file format. Is there a way where I can save them as .jpg or such?

Ok i kinda got the hang of it but how do you cut the holes out so they dont look like this

you need to make the front baffel to the desired thickness example 3/4"

then draw a circle. then use the push pull tool and push the circle back 3/4"
