Re: How to attach the baffle to the cab?
I think this is a key question. I looked inside my Pathfinder 15R and this is the way they seem to have done it.
Measurements have to be right on even after the grill cloth is affixed. Some supports run vertically and horizontal inside the cab, the exact depth of the baffle wood. I don't see how those are attached but maybe glue. I would probably glue and then screw.
Next the baffle board was probably placed face down on a table and the housing lowered over it so that the vertical and horizontal supports fit perfectly onto the baffle board.
Next the baffle board is attached to the supports by screws through the back of the cabinet housing. I am not skilled at this sort of thing and it seems like the small size of the supports would make it impossible to get a drill inside the cabinet, but maybe the length of the drill bit is way longer than the depth of the cabinet.
Hopefully someone will come along before too long and set us straight. I really want to do this as well, and so far have put it off due to not knowing exactly how. .

Re: How to attach the baffle to the cab?
There are several ways to do this. I made my whole front plate the baffle, and but jointed the sides to it. You can put the top bottom and sides together first, then run a piece of 1x1 poplar the depth of your wood inside the front of your enclosure. You can go deeper if you wish, it will just leave and over hang. then glue and screw the plate to the 1x1 blocking you put in earlier.
