Enclosure construction

Material used is high quality MDF, 25mm on sides, 30mm other parts. Here panels ready for starting work.

   
First make holes for Altec 416 woofers.    
Put on the floor various panel, in the mounting position...    
... and sign carefully points for wood joints.    
Make holes for joints, on the side of panels...    
... and on corresponding faces.    
Insert wood joints and cut at desired lenght.    
Make a test on assembly before glueing. Check perfect allignments of panels, and correct holes if necessary.    
Ok, now go on with glue and start assembling. Remove glue in excess on external part, otherwise you will have a bad result later, in painting.    
In the internal part, instead, put more glue as you see.    
And now wait for one day that glue get completely dry.    
Uh..., if sound will be not so good, you can use enclosures as toys for your childs.    
       
 
But this is only half of the work, you cannot miss the second part of Enclosure construction
