Underseat Subwoofer Box Build

So finally I decided to get rid of the sealed box that I have and create my own ported box with my own aero port. I added one flared port in the inside, just that I forgot to take a pic, but I will also be adding one on the outside and I will be posting it on here. This is the first time that I ever made a subwoofer box, so I am not a pro at all.

Let me know what you guys think. Sorry I forgot to take a lot more pics, but when I start working I just work and forget to take pics.

Supplies:
2 MDF sheets .75 2x4 from Home Depot
Rustoleum Semi Gloss Black paint rolled on
2 inch #8 drywall screws
2x10 inch pipe for a tune of 20 hz
Cuts:
12"x40" top piece
9"x40" bottom piece
2 piece 7"x40 for front and back of sub box. Back piece had angle cuts of around 25 degrees
For the side pieces I just traced the parts once the whole box was assembled.
Total dimensions of the box were 41.5 wide by 8.5 tall because .75x2=1.5

Test fitting

Front, Back, Bottom piece glued and screwed

Test fitting top piece, found out that the back piece (angled piece) was a little curved, not a straight piece of wood.

Putting blocks to try and get it as close as possible to be straight

Putting glue in the gaps

Pre drilled screw hole for alignment
