Started first box build today

yup. Add plenty of bracing wherever you feel is needed, as in any open flat and unsupported space. A stronger box = longer lasting and louder bass. This might raise your tuning a hertz or two, it shouldnt be a problem at all vs the gains you will get from a stronger box..

Is there any way I can put the extra baffle on the outside of the front instead to save room inside the box? Or will the extra in the front throw off the port tune?

You can put it outside. Just glue it on.

I haven't had time to fix the box yet. Do u guys think it would work if I just added/doubled the outside of the box completely it would stop the flexing? (Does that make sense how I typed it?) like add another layer of mdf on every side. I really don't want to put any more wood inside and raise the frequency. Do u think 1/2" would work? Would it have to be mdf?
