Use the drill bit to drill pilot holes for the screws so that the wood doesn't crack and mess the wood you are using up.

Draw and Outline for the Speakers and the Motherboard

Draw an outline of more or less where you want the speakers and the motherboard to go.

Cut Out the Holes That You Drew

Cut the holes a little bit smaller so that the speakers can fit tight and not be loose.

Sand the Box

Sand the box until you feel all surfaces to be smooth.

Insert the Speakers and Mother Board Into the Holes and Screw Them In.

Make sure that when you are screwing in the speakers to be careful that you don't mess up the speakers.

Take Off a Side Panel So That You Can Wire the Speakers to the Mother Board

Wire speakers according to the mother board. (+) with (+) and (-) with (-).

Put the Panel Back on and Enjoy Your New Speaker.
