I've had a couple subwoofer projects myself and making the cutouts with the jig was the worst part, and that was making a regular box which doesn't require many holes. An egg though
I figure you've done the major part now so that's awesome and now you can look forward to moving it Sorry I'm not there to help...
I made up a compas to draw the circles and cut them freehand. With the right jigsaw, blades, and settings, it's not that hard. I tried using a router & circle attachment at first but it wasn't as easy as I had hoped. Ended up destroying the first ring and had to re-cut it.
The sanding was the worst part. Even with a belt sander it was a ton or work. The top wasn't so bad but once I turned it on it's side to sand the lower section, it kept trying to roll away while I was working on it. In all honesty, I don't think I did that great of a job on the lower area as I got tried of the BS and pronounced it done before it was finished the way I'd like.
I'm thinking of using moving straps to help get it up the stairs. I'll thrown a blanket over it first. Hope it doesn't end up crushing me.
