Oh I forgot to say what sub is going in it. It will be a soundqubed sdc2.5 12 that will be receiving 500 watts from a kicker 10zx500.1. I know it is not the best amp but could not pass it up for $50. Car is a 2000 Toyota Camry.

Cool man. Good job on the first box. I am too lazy to read through what's already been suggested. But here's my advice. Predrill holes before you screw. And use small screws. Also I only use like 1 1/2" long screws.

Try and use the least amount of screws as possible, they're not needed most of the time. I only use them when I need to secure a joint that I can't get a clamp in there with. Which is usually the port walls.

And scrape off that dried up glue from the corners. Or run your finger along it and smear it into the edges, that's what I do.

Also invest in a router with flush trim/roundover bits. You will love it.

And if you are going to invest in a router, make sure it is a plunge router. You also might as well get a jasper jig to cut those perfect circles ;)

thats one reason why i dont use screws =D

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Yup. But I don't have a jasper. What I do to draw out my perfect circles is find the center of the baffle, drill a small holes in the middle of where the sub will mount. And measure out the radius of the cutout onto a thin piece of MDF, and drill a little bigger hole for the pencil to slide into. Then drill through the thin piece and slide the drill bit into the hole i drilled in the middle of the sub cutout. I suck at explaining shit so I'll try and find a picture.

Then I just skillfully go around with a jigsaw ;) Lol. I can make pretty good circles imo.

Jigsaw-cut circles. Box I just built for a friend. All edges rounded over and flush trimmed.

I did the same thing basically. Yeah, as long as you take your time with a jigsaw, it can look flawless

That is actually exactly what I did. Then I smotthed it out with a sanding drum on my die grinder and It cam out almost perfect.
