90 degree corners or butt joints are fine. if you are going to veneer, laminate or cover the box in any way this will be just fine. A stronger joint would a rabbet or half lap type. (we wont get into locking miters) A butt joint is just not pretty if not covered. It is also not a strong joint, but this is a speaker box and will not be subject to a lot of stress. Internal bracing ie; cross members that tie the sides and the front and back together are a must no matter what panel joining method is used. you can engineer a speaker encloser till the cows come home. There are different methods that have distinct advantages and are well deserved. If your just starting out. Then start out simple and enjoy. Use glue and screws.Bill Martinelli
