...I hate measuring and making sure everying is square, so I printed all the pieces with a large plotter and traced around them onto the wood.

OK, congrats on being willing to build your own enclosure.

Uh, you traced a pattern onto a piece of wood? That's how you made sure it was square?

This isn't a gender-based comment, but this isn't sewing a dress you're talking about. Measuring and making things square is really important. If things aren't the right size, and square, not only will you get leaks, you will also lose acoustic energy as panels vibrate in ways they shouldn't, because the enclosure doesn't fit the way it should, and you lose output and sometimes hear noises that you shouldn't.

I strongly recommend to anyone making an enclosure to use measuring tools and a carpenter's square. The technology is cheap, older than dirt, and not hard to use.
