lowes/home depot will cut the wood for you. Sometimes they charge you .25 a cut, but really you're not gunna get it much more accurate than the panel saw they have there. As long as they make the measurements right and the wood doesnt come up off the guide at all the cuts should be perfect. It's especially helpful when you have real large pieces. My table saw works well for small to medium size pieces, but without it being built out onto a table, you can't really cut huge pieces.

Eh.. a lot of my friends do, except that they don't use it, it's their Dads and I don't really want to bother them and aks them to cut my wood haha

If they have the stuff to do it. They wouldn't be bothered at all. Hell thats why they bought that stuff. Just ask them, I gurantee they would help you.

Nearly any guy wants an excuse to use the tools they've invested in.

Home Depot, Lowes, etc

They may or may not cut it for you. It depends on the employee and the store.

edit: woops, little late on my post lol!

i usually go to Home Depot to get my MDf.. and i sometimes have them cut it.. really the only way they can mess up is the above mentioned... if they mark it wrong or it falls off... other than that it will be straight and perfect.. just watch them and make sure they know what they are doing..

Hum.. If I can get home depot to cut it, including the circle, I think I MIGHT be able to do. I couldn't find the building the box FAQ ,anyone got a link?

Or can anyone explain how it works? Do I just glue the sides together as even as I can? And then carpet it?

In the mean time, can anyone do this job for me? I'm just keeping my options open.

They wont cut the circle for your box. All you need is a Jig saw. Use a large drill bit and drill inside the circle and cut out from there..Sand the edges if you need to and you're done.. As far as a box building tutorial..it's not very complicated what you're doing. Use 3/4" MDF, Elmers Wood Glue or titebond works well to hold the pieces together. Then just add some 1.5" Drywall screws and you're done..You don't need to go crazy on the screws..the glue is what holds the box together.

you could do screws around ever 4".... anyway.. as stated they wont cut the circle.... the subs you come with may have a template, which is the cut out circle.. other than that im sure someone has the cut out for the SE 12".. it really isnt hard at all..
