pieces of the shell-width styrene cut to length and rounded to
fit the interior roof of the shell. Either glue these end pieces

Building a box
Sometimes I need to build an enclosure (box). This may be
because I’m using a speaker that doesn’t have a ready-made
enclosure available, or because I need a different depth than
the ready-made version. This technique results in a crude
enclosure. I use ready-made if at all possible.
I use the same techniques previously discussed to cut and glue
styrene to the speaker. Angle blocks keep things square while I
use MEK to quickly tack the pieces together. Then I use clamps
