Make sure you sweep and wipe down all the internal panels on subs before you put on the second side. I'm still getting sawdust shaken out 2 years after I built my Tuba 48s.
A tack rag is most useful. You can make one with a little varnish on a loose weave cloth, or a short spray of adhesive on a cloth. Wipe all internals down.

Stand the sub up, apply 110 PSI of compressed air.
No more dust.

From the access hole of my T48(s) I stuff a chunk of plastic tarp in the woofer port hole (the letterbox at the throat) and then stuck a wide open air line @ approx 120 PSI in there next to and everything came storming out the mouth. It's been tipped and toppled, and nothing else has come out, also no audible abnormalities from loose junk.

Re: Clean up after yerself
Clean as you work. I vacuum after just about everything that makes dust in the cab. Especially the areas you can't get to once the side is applied. Then the leaf blower after completion.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.

The leaf blower offers a lot of air at a reasonably high velocity. A compressor air cleaner-gun offers very high velocity, but only a small amount of air
Cleaning as you go is the caper, but you'll not avoid some sawdust getting in a Titan build
