If you can't figure out the angles build the bottom box square. Then use a chalk line from the top rear corner to the front edge at the wanted height of the front of the CP. Then cut the box along the line. Not totally accurate but much easier.

yeah i was goin towards taht direction cut can't if i make it box it will run into my buttons and plus the base sides would be stickin out cuz of my top control panel
muffin man:

Make just the CP slanted. You will kick yourself if you make the cab slanted. A full MDF cp with box is heavy. If you are trying to make it removable it will mean trying to hold it onto that slant while securing it somehow, which raises another problem. How are you actually going to secure it on there tight enough to keep it on? Gravity does most of the work when it is just sitting on a normal shelf, but it will want to slide down the slant. Most of the time, my CP isn't even strapped down (on my Lusid design cab).
There is a reason you don't see many cabs with the entire CP box slanted.
