I'm going to let the resident woodworkers here answer that one because they know much more about woodworking than I do. One suggestion that may be of interest - You can cut the wood yourself but you might check the lumber yards and hardware stores to see if any are willing to cut the panels for you.When I fill an order for completed speakers, I have the cabinets built by professional cabinetmakers and I take delivery of the cabinets and install the components in them. I can tell you that you'll only need a screwdriver to mount the drivers and crossovers into the cabinets, some white glue to attach the R13 insulation to the inside bottom, back and side nearest the port. You won't need a soldering iron or anything like that because the crossovers and cable assemblies are finished and ready for you to connect. You just press 'em on.
