My box project
Never took early pics but just picture a sheet of MDF lol
Cell phone pics sorry lol
So its a 3 inch port its put together with Marine screws. All holes are pre drilled and counter sunk. All pieces are glues with Lepage construction adhesive. Then the seams are sealed with the same product. Tonight mission is to sand the port smooth and spry the inside with Rock guard.
The outside is getting the screw holes filled and sanded and rock guarded as well.

Looks good for your first try.....I would suggest a brace between the subs to help stop any flex in the longest section of the box.....run it from the front baffle to the rear wall.......
A 3" wide pc of 3/4" MDF is all you need.....another one beside it from top to bottom couldn't hurt......
