EVLSPL Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) When we built my box at first all we used was 3/4 burch, brads, and tightbond. Wellll the side came loose and starting rattling about a week later. Some people say that I went a little crazy on it but, I fiberglassed the inside and predrilled, drilled in a 1 3/4" wood screw every 3"s on all overlapping sheets. Needless to say this box will never be broken. Here are some pics of the after. Edited November 19, 2007 by EVLSPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSN2meBoom916 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) I also predrill/countersink MANY screws. As long as you predrill it you shoulnd't have any splitting issues. Liquid nails is ok as a "sealant" on the inside edges, just like silicone or caulking, but a BONDING wood glue is best for the actual construction. The diff between Construction and interior sealing should be noted-and if your measurements and CUTS are "true" enough, you shouldn't need interior sealant, the glue along a straight edge will seal perfectly. Be careful using silcone to seal the interior and make sure it's completely CURED before you install the subs because some silicones emit FUMES as they cure that are BAD for FOAM surrounds on subs.
