Just thought i'd share with you all;
Was inspired from a tutorial from audio site to create something of my own...
Actually.- my first working with wood.. and in that regard, first enclosure :]. Not bad for a 16 year old.

My 'Blueprint'



Tight,





Didn't get a chance to go pic by pic during the install..
But just an idea -- Pretty much self explanatory
Gluing




Speaker terminal plates on opposite ends.


final product :







I'm not going to lie.. I did put a bit of work into these boxes. Amazingly enough, i didn't have to measure much out besides the volume and initial cuts.
Much of the box was done by eyeballing...Seeing how it was intended for a 'quick' temporary test box.

-I wasn't so fortunate with 30 minute procedures like the some of the skilled woodworkers on here. But--Overall it was pretty straight forward. And i'm proud of what i got :].
It's very solid.. i'm quite suprised. I could probably hop on my box and not have it show any signs of torment whatsoever.
Cost : 8$ tube + 6$ gorilla glue homedepot, 1$ screws, ~12$ 3/4 Mdf. (i forgot exact cost...).
Cheap and affordable.. I'm happy, and thats all that counts.
