jmsonoma03 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 TODAY STARTED OFF GOOD I GOT 30 FT OF 0GA GROUND WIRE FROM A FRIENDS SHOP YESTERDAY TODAY I RAN IT . AFTER I WAS FINISHED I WENT TO TEST SYSTEM OUT IT SOUNDED GOOD UNTIL I TURNED UP THE BASS . I HEARD A LOUD NOISE I WENT TO THE BED WHERE MY CUT THROUGH BOX IS AND HEARD WOOD VIBRATING I CHECKED THE BACK SIDES AND BACK OF THE BOX THEY FELT SOLID THEN I WENT INSIDE AND LOOKED INSIDE OF MY BOX AND NOTICED THAT THE NAILS THAT WERE SUPPOST TO HOLDING THE BOX TOGETHER WERE SNAPPED IN HALF AND THE BOTTOM OF BOX WAS VIBRATING (CHEAP FUCKEN HARBOR FREIGHT NAIL GUN AND NAILS) .SO I HAD TO REMOVE ALL OF MY AMPS AND OTHER STUFF TO REMOVE THE BOX .THE BOX HAS FOUR 12" SUBS AND IS F N HEAVY INSTEAD OF FIXING THE BOX AND PUTTING IT BACK IN I DECIDED TO PUT MY OTHER BOX WITH TWO JL 15W3S PORTED BACK IN IT INSTEAD AND IM GLAD I DID I FORGOT HOW GOOD AND LOW THEY HIT. IVE BEEN WANTING TO DO NEW SUBS FOR A WHILE BUT CANT DESIDE ON 12" OR 15" FI RE OR DC OR EVEN AA BUT I THINK THE ANSWER WILL BE NEW 15" SUBS FROM ONE OF THE FOUR WHICH IS EVER THE BEST DEAL. SO LONG STORY SHORT AFTER HOOKING EVERY THING BACK UP THE ENGINE NOISE PROBLEM I HAD BEFORE IS NOW GONE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sully Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 never trust nails in a box like that, wood glue and countersunk screws is the way to go.

Shyne151 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 never trust nails in a box like that, wood glue and countersunk screws is the way to go. Why? brad nailers/staplers are fine. The nails aren't supposed to hold the box together, the glue is. The nails are supposed to hold it tight in place until the glue dries.

You ever try ripping 2 pieces of wood that were glued together(with wood glue). It wont rip where the glue joint is at all. the wood itself would give in first....

A few brad nails to hold it till the glue dries. A little bit more then 3000w too Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes these guys are right. Tite bond is stronger than any nail - once it dries and cures. Did you give everything time to set up and dry?
