masterbusa2 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 I saw a local box shop here in my town that was using some really strong wood glue, along with just brading the box together, granted it was for 2 12's like 2512's but would it work for buigger boxes with bracing?
David Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 Yes, brads, staples or screws basically all do the samething, hold the pieces together while the glue cures, the glue is what actually holds the pieces together, that's why we use wood glue.

SnowDrifter Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 I like to use screws with an unthreaded shank. But that's because I don't have clamps and using those screws act as a clamp. Then when I'm done take out the screws, fill in the holes ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
ROLEXrifleman Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 18 gauge good enough? I've got bostich air tools and have been considering using that for my next box build vs the old drywall screw method. So clamps brads and glue huh? Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice
alaskanzx5 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 i use wood screws, same reason as snowdrifter. not having clamps sucks but the screws work great and i haven't had a leaky box yet, well besides a prefab i got for free. 2 t2d412 on a t1500.1 and the baffle was literally only held on by the carpet on the box by the time i got my box built for them.went to pull one of the subs out and saw that half of the baffle pulling up on the carper. cut the carpet around the whole baffle and picked up on the other sub and the whole baffle came up. 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.
masterbusa2 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Posted June 15, 2013 I have always used wood screws due to reliability, on bigger builds such as 4 15's brads not a good option?
alaskanzx5 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 to me screws are just a better choice. the thread bites into the wood and holds on. 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.
Quiet Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 Titebond II and wood clamps. With MDF the glue bond will be as strong as the MDF itself. /thread EDIT: as long as your cuts are tight. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.
