the edge to make sure the
top of the strip is flush with
the top of the speaker.
You’ll have a few seconds
to adjust before the CA
sets.  You want the strip
to overlap the short edge
of the speaker just a bit,
so that you can later cut
that off flush for the short
edges of the box.
Let the CA set up for a few
minutes, then trim the strip
flush with the short edge of
the speaker, and repeat on
the other side.
Now do the short ends:
you want the short ends to overlap the styrene sides of the
long ends in order to create an air-tight seal.  Put a bead of gel
CA along the side of the speaker and the edges of the long side
styrene strips, then press a strip of styrene to complete one
side.  Make sure to overlap the long sides a bit to make sure
everything is sealed up tight.
Let the CA dry, trim the ends of the strip flush with the long
sides, and repeat for the other side.  You now have a box
around your speaker.  Drill as small a hole as you can get the
wires through the short side of the box.
Feed the wires through, and put a dab of gel CA around the
inside of the hole to seal it.  When you are done, here’s what
you have [9].
Let everything dry for 10 minutes.  Now attach the bottom.  If
you are using styrene, this is pretty simple: put the speaker on

two long sides, things should
look something like this.
