Guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 So i've heard from snooping around here that Titebond is the best glue to use. but which version, therels I, II, and III. Im guessing 3 is the best at 8oz $4-5 and the 1 is 16oz $4-5. and what kind of screws, type and size should i use for standard 3/4" MDF or 3/4" Birch. And there's no sound or SPL difference from Birch and MDF right? Quote
andym85 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 doesnt really matter which titebond really, but id get two or three. i use like 1 5/8" drywall screws iirc....and you dont need a bunch, they are only there to hold the wood in place while the glue dries...so go easy on them. im not sure if there are any spl differences in birch vs. mdf....i think birtch is a bit more rigid and light Quote i likes me some audio stuff...
camino_1to3 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 Depends .. if it's DC use titebone III, everything else just use elmer's =] haha jk man.

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.

Guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 so Titebond II, 1 5/8" drywall screws. you keep the screws in forever right? and why drywall...not wood? Quote
andym85 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 so Titebond II, 1 5/8" drywall screws.you keep the screws in forever right? and why drywall...not wood? probably doesnt matter on the type of screw...as long as they bite real good. make sure you counter sink them to make them really 'bite' down....after the glue dries you cant take the screws out if you wish...i know of a guy who does that for asthetic purposes...but i leave mine it just because Quote i likes me some audio stuff...
Guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) countersink means that it goes underneath the wood? so the head isnt "poking" out? and every 6" should be good for a screw? Edited May 6, 2008 by Krannyman92 Quote
andym85 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 countersink means that it goes underneath the wood? so the head isnt "poking" out?and every 6" should be good for a screw? yes and yes Quote i likes me some audio stuff...
Guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) im most likely gonna need to double baffle it. i just cut out both pieces of the front plate the same size right? Edited May 6, 2008 by Krannyman92 Quote
