It looks good for your first efforts. Looks like you took the time to stage your cuts. I also think sanding the additional caulk off of the bonding surfaces is a good call. Not everyone is a master box builder(including myself) but you get better over time. I am building probably my 20th box now and still make mistakes. Access to the right tools makes a world of difference also. And for everyone that had something negative to say should post a pic of there version of the correct way to do it.

Thats how it works.

You cant read a welding book, then go lay a perfect tig!!!

Spray the port black atleast- maybe wrap it with a cool spongebob sheet from wally world:veryhapp:

Joking, you have an audio shop near? get some carpet? vallure?

Try some textured paint or even some roll on bedliner. I have seen a fewdone with it and it actually looks pretty good.

Wally World has black or grey carpet for $9 in the auto section. Port wall looks farther back from the front then the outer wall on the right. If so that could be a problem...

You should also sand off all the caulking/glue from the tops of the sides before putting on the top baffle.

but then we'll be able to see where the wood split...

Wally World=Its a magical amusement park that the griswalds go to visit in the 80's but its closed so they break in and john candy tries to stop them and gets shot with a bb gun. There, now you know.
