Wood glue all the inside seams.

Or fiberglass the inside seams.

Or caulk the inside seams.

That's really all I've done and have had no problems with air escaping from the box.

No problem at all. Just use the wood glue to glue all the edges of the box together, and after it's all dried, if there's any bigger gaps from the "not so straight" cuts, then use caulk to seal it up.

Liquid nail is what we use.

Its $1.74 a tube at Lowes, pretty easy to apply and adds more strength than caulk.

Do not Liquid Nail the faceplate on unless your sure you are not going to take it back off! I usually use 100% Silicone for the faceplate if you plan on building it, testing, and possibly modifying it in the future.

take some sawdust and wood glue and mix them togther. fill the cracks with that. You really shouldnt have many big gaps though if you have straight cuts. This method dries to the same color and consistency of the wood. i keep a small bucket on hand for just that reason.
