Well, there's been a ton of questions about how to build boxes, so I figured this might help you guys out. This tutorial assumes that you have a good selection of tools, if you don't, the tablesaw has to be substituted with a circular saw, the router with a jigsaw for cutting holes, and sandpaper for rounding corners. Better tools equal better results, of course, but you can build a professional looking box with a circular saw, saw guide, and jigsaw, it just takes more time, attention to detail, and patience.

Now, on to the pics. I'm going to do this in stages, to keep myself straight:

First thing you need to do is cut out all your pieces for your box based off your cutsheet or drawing. How you do this is up to you, but of course the most professional results will be achieved using a tablesaw. Mine is a Rigid Contractor saw with a 36" rip capacity.



Here's your stack after you've cut it all out to the sizes listed on your cutsheet or drawing:



If I was using a circular saw, I would dry fit the pieces at this time to make sure all the cuts were straight, and the dimensions were right. Using a tablesaw and fence, as long as you set the fence correctly, you're good to go.

Next thing I do is to round off all the edges on the ends of the ports with a router table. A handheld router with 1/2" or 3/4" will do, if you don't have either, use 80 grit sandpaper to smooth and round the edges where the port end will see airflow:





after I get mine off the router table, I still hit the edges with some 80 grit to smooth out any imperfections:



Now, this box is a flared port box, so I'll go over that as well. Ben Gailey's sticky on flared port is a good place to start learning the flares, so all I'm going to do is go over the actual cutting

First thing I do is measure out where my flare needs to be based on the cutsheet or diagram, and mark it on the wood.



Then we need to set the blade height, I eyeball it, but generally, you want to cut about 5/8ths deep:



Then I set the fence at the 1st measurement, and start cutting:



This box called for 1/2" spacing on the cuts, with one at 1/4" because the flare radius was not exact:
