C-Fizzy Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Why would you use a staple? Use titebond 2 or 3 wood glue and screws.

C-Fizzy Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Dry fit the box (no glue) pre drill holes. Glue sides one at a time, clamp the together then fill in predrilled holes with screws.

C-Fizzy Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I would pre drill before you do any glueing. And do you know what predrilling is? Find a drill bit a little smaller than the screws you're using. Drill with those. Then use the screws.

alaskanzx5 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) this is the order you do it in pre dill, glue, screw. then for all the inside corners you should put a sealent to make sure its air tight. to pre drill the hole you need to line the wood up how it will be when its done then drill the holes. i suggest doing one in each coner first and then putting in a screw so that the box cant move or shift while drilling. take the screws in the corners out then use wood glue to put the box together. do one side at a time and screw the boards together so that it will apply preasure to the glue so that it gets a good strong hold and hopefully fill in any air gaps. as you put the box together you will want to put some sealent ( i use liquid nails ) in the corners so that any slight air hole can be filled/covered so that there is no chance of air leaks. let it all dry overnight, the next morning clean off any extra glue from the outside of the box. take some wood glue and sawdust mix it together and use this on top of the screw heads to cover them. then as your choice cover the box in fabric or paint it. you can also paint and upholster the the box. FYI if the box is ported your should also atleast roung off all the edges of the port walls inside and out. better air flow Edited January 28, 2012 by alaskanzx5 Quote t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
