usmc7980 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I use a synthetic silicon called Dow Corning 795. We use it at work to seal metal roof seams. It stays exposed to the elements all year and have I never seen a failure in 5 years. Don't know if you can get it at home centers. The good thing about it is it is fully synthetic so you can put it on the seams and drop the subs right in and not worry about the surround eating away from the curing fumes.

ptcary Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 smaller box, silicone is probably the easiest. For my wall, I used construction adhesive, then resin and fiberglass, then bedliner paint.
