i have a table saw so i cut all the panels on that.
my scoops are also an older style design, similar to the old JBL scoop but 18" version.

Don't use a jigsaw . I've never built a speaker in my life but I can tell you from my (extremely limited) woodworking experience that accurate miters are near as damnit impossible with a jigsaw.

Looking good so far! Are you not planning to add the triangle piece at the bottom of the rear panel?
