well, you need a frame, a baffle, you need a whole plan of action before you start.. designs, measurements, etc.

frame, bottom, backplate, call it what you wish. suspend the baffle over it with supports, make the supports SOLID for a subbox, then stretch yoru material over that, tack it and glass it. the basic idea is actually pretty simple, for sure.
