Lowes and Home Depot don't cut circles. You have a dremel, get the plunge router attachment.
And yea, the saws their stink. I used to have them cut mine, but I always had problems with the cuts being straight, so I dished out $600 and bought a table saw.

i dont remember which store i got mine cut at, but they were straight as could be... and free...although the guy was getting annoyed with all the cuts he had to make.... find someone with a table saw..... makin boxes isnt too hard though... take your time, draw out the lines, and pre-drill...

go spend $30 or $40 and buy ajigsaw at walmart
that will cut circles all day long.
also cuts any shapes your circular saw can't manage.
a circular saw is good for ripping straight lines, but that's about it.

I've built decent sealed enclosures with with a handsaw, $25 jigsaw, and a bunch of silicone. If you're worried about your carpentry skills, sealed is definitely the first place to start. As long as you can seal up all the leaks(silicone) and get the volume semi-close to specs it should sound good. If you wanna go ported later an old enclosure makes a good garage shelf if you remove the face.

JL has used polyprophylene for years now. They just put a metallic finish on those for bling factor.
