flares:

flare isn't quite "curvy" enough; but you get the point

looks good.

you should write a tutorial for that on here!

a little more radius on the port opening would of looked better, but thats fine for a drawing.

The way that I do my flares is to make a set of progressively larger circles, and then drag them together with the follow me tool.

Good tutorial, with your help I designed another box for the sub that hasn't been in my car yet., but I think I have a winner.

I cannot make a proper top.

Someone care to explain it better? (no offense)

Here's where i am stuck...I don't know how to make the top.

Well first off, you've still got some lines to draw in on the baffle and sides. Once you've done that, the way I make a top is to go to each of the four corners and draw a vertical line .75" tall. Connect the open ends of the lines, delete the rectangle that got filled in on the port, and go to town.

Yes, I figured it out. I couldn't draw that vertical line @ first, but I figured it out.

Great tut man! A+

Also, how do you get the measure to show up on your final product? And how do you change the texture to wood or something else?

The measurement tool is a little button on the left side with a black bar with a 3 on it. You can change the texture by highlighting the part you want and going into the fill menu (paint bucket).
