Every member reading the thread should donate 1$ then I will send him the dimensions.

If you see the hits on the topic, this will make me around 3,000$
I wouldn't blame you because you definitely came up with a winner here!

I now have the 'infamous' 10" Pioneer TS TW251 subwoofer after first buying a 10" JL Audio 10w 1v2-4 (which required too much volume for the X5 subwoofer enclosure).

Carlgo: What thickness MDF (in inches ) did you buy? Are you using the two different thicknesses - one for front and back and a smaller thickness for the sides?

I think you can order a (4-pin molex) Alpine amp connector from their parts distributor: Melissa Marin

She'll take care of you!

Question, are there any tips you can pass on to us first time 'cabinet makers'? Audio installers around here want to charge $200-$250 to build this box so I've decided to tackle this myself....

(1) After we cut the boards, how do we hold the 90 degree angles together when we attach the sides toform the box?

(2) Do we both glue and screw the boards together at the same time?

(3) What brands of wood putty(?) and screws did you buy from Home Depot?

(4) I have one of those 10" table saws but what type of machine is needed to make the 23.8 cm speaker hole?
