Re: 60 Degree DIY Mid Hi

Okay, everyone - I need help with something I simply don't know how to do, nor know if I need to do. There are two questions that I need answered:
Is it worth making this an actual trap box, since they will most often be used two a side? If so, how does that effect the acoustics of the box? How much more insanity am I getting myself into by deciding to do this?
If I decide to build the box with angled sides, how do I cut the angled sides to the now trapezoidal pieces? Normally, I'd say use the table saw for miter joints, but I'm basically requiring that I use a circular saw, correct? I can caluclate any angle to cut - but that doesn't mean I'll be able to cut it.

I'm reworking a lot of the parts post Peter's contributions to the design. I'm also considering using 15mm ply instead - if I can find any. I seem to be able to reliably find and purchase 12mm and 18mm (1/2" and 3/4") It reduces the time for CNC too, which would be great. Thanks in advance - it's been a great learning experience so far.
