Fixing an oops'd up box

[HHR Ed]

I use liquid nail like its my job

x two on the liquid nails,but resin is always a good way to go as well.

Resin will be the strongest and best solution in your situation. If your panels are structurally sound and have the coin thickness gap you can just grab a $0.99 small tube of clear silicone II and fill the gap. Everybody starts somewhere and I have filled quarter inch gaps with tons of silicone and it still holds solid to this day. No, I will not post pix of the enclosure ha ha

expanding foam maybe would work?? not much but a lil to seal the gap?

other then that like hhr ed said liquid nails ftw and some resin

i just built a box for a truck due to the angles of the front baffle the cuts were not perfect so i taped off the outside and put lots of resin

btw thats also how i do my 45s

I did mine with mat and resin, and it's easy quick and cheap but buy it from ace or lowes becuase wal mart is evilll

I did glue it like nobody's business, but some of my cuts were a little wonky (first time with a circ. saw) and my eye isn't apparently perfectly straight at 1:30 AM, so I didnt catch some small gaps until I felt the air shooting out of them.

Although, on the staying together front, I do need some more bracing than I have right now. Might have to get some dowels in there when I start slinging 'glass.

This box has really been a learning curve for me. My last 'two' boxes (I rebaffled my first to fix wonky sub placement and switch to bigger PVC ports) were both tube ported, divorced chamber boxes, so the center wall kinda served as bracing I guess? This is my first slot port and common chamber, so I'm frankly not surprised I underestimated what I would need to do as far as bracing and whatnot. I wasn't expecting issues, but in hindsight, I should have; my first box was even uglier!

Hate to bring back a thread from the dead, but I was trying to get the top off this box and, well, not gonna happen. SO! I need a way to LOSE about a half inch of height on this thing without blowing it apart. Anyone think this is possible? Or should this box go to the burn pile?
