I always use the gorilla wood glue. It's the best I've found so far! :shrug:

there is some VERY hard headed people out there. Anyone who says a DD-1 isnt necessary is also saying an O-scope isnt necessary. Anyone who says an O-scope IN THE MINIMUM isnt necessary, is a noob. Forget the DD-1 for a minute, any reputable installer will at LEAST use an O-scope. Those guys in that thread are clowns. Hard headed clowns.

I used titebond 2 on my box and a shit ton of screws. If i counted the screws i used on the whole box i probably used over 200. hahaha. Its true though with the liquid nails. That stuff is very bad for holding a box together because of the stress it will endure when your box pressure increases and decreases. Its more made to hold things onto walls or in place, not keep things bonded. Plus liquid nails doesnt seep into the wood like titebond or elmers wood glue will so its really not bonding anything well.

good topic. i use titebond II and drywall screws i think. use pretty much whatever caulking my parents have lying around. usually it's dap.

I really had no idea there were differences in all of this. very enlightening.

i've never used it, but i'm curious to why liquid nails is bad for assembling an enclosure.

edit: ^ answered. kind of. can anybody explain why in noob terms?

again, good thread! :popcorn:

For rough cuts where you have gaps and shit, it may actually be beneficial to use since it has more 'bulk' to it and doesn't run as much. But it's just not great with end grain bonding, doesn't penetrate well and it can get messy as all hell if you get it where you don't want it.

Makes sense. thanks!

titebond II and III. IF I have a gap I mix up some sawdust and glue and force it in. If its a high power install all the seams get glassed in a couple layers as well.

THERE IS NO BUILD LOG!

Very glad to hear all of this. But I guess I don't understand. I mean, you say liquid nails isn't good b/c of the pressures? I used some liquid nails on two pieces of 2x4, and honestly couldn't get it apart with a vice grip and a crowbar. The wood failed before the bond did.
