Now it's time to build the box and brace it. I started by gluing the top and sides to the baffle then added the bottom. Clamps were left on for a few hours and the boxes left for 24hrs before being handled.

Next up, bracing. I'm a fan of using a lot of bracing inside cabinets, especially large ones. I decided on 2 window braces, one below the horn and one between the port and the woofer. I also added a brace at the mid point of the woofer and stick braces on all the panels. Cutting or routing braces can be a lot of work. I cut this down by gang drilling the corners of the 4 window braces and cutting as much as possible on the mitre saw. I only had to do the short sides with the jig saw.

4 brace blanks stacked and clamped in place for drilling with a forstner bit.
