Time to decide if you want the ports to be removable or not. If you glue them in place, the box will
be considerably stronger and more durable, but if you ever want to service the speaker, you will
have to remove the baffle from the front, which weakens the rigidity of the baffle. See “REPLACING
THE SPEAKER”. It really depends on how likely you are to want to try lots of different speakers in
your cabinet. If that’s you, then do NOT glue the ports in place at this time. If you can’t imagine ever
replacing the speaker unless it has died of old age, then glue in the ports.

goes in the rear at the top.

If gluing, put some glue on one long edge, and on the back of the
port where it will touch the cleats. Do NOT put any glue on the ENDS of the ports! It will only
squeeze out and make a mess. Whether using glue or not, tap the ports tightly into place.
