You will need to use ether a nail and a hammer or a drill to make the holes for the sound to escape.

I used a hammer and a nail before i realized there was a drill in the house.

You will also need to make the holes for the bolts the hold the speakers to go.

For making the sound holes on the like i first use a nail and hammer.

But then i decided a candle and a hot nail would be fast and easier.

I used zip ties to secure the speaker to the lid mainly because i didn't have anymore nuts and bolts
