How do you secure your boxes together?

[mikeg321]

I glue then clamp. When I can't use clamps (like on angled sides) I use spax screws and glue. Spax screws=Win no predriling and they countersink themselves

I've always just used wood screws and pre-drill..but I have been wanting to get a brad nailer and also now I want to try those spax screws so I don't have to pre-drill...thanks to everyone for their responses

I like how EVERYONE types out "screws" yet nails are winning the poll. These nailers ain't fucking around.

The idea that the glue is what holds the box together is a myth. At least for MDF and Plywood.

Glue simply bonds the surface layers of the wood together. This is fine for small, low powered enclosures. But for the big boy (anything over 600w and multi subs). A glue joint will hold the surface layers together, but the wood itself can peel apart and delaminate.

Therefore, the strongest joint is glue between the seams, and screws driven through. This will ensure that the entire thickness of the wood is being used to strengthen the joint, and not just the surface layers.

Ifixed the box from my avatarpicture, with velcro (hook and loop tape).

I put 10 stripes of 2 inches over the whole botom of the box, and put on the wooden trunkplate of my trunk , all over the place of the box the other part of the

Velcro. If i have to place the box, i used a sheet of carton, put it on the bottom, put the box in and pull the sheet of carton out, fixed it with pressing the

box on the bottom. Box out, with 2 scredrivers, between box and bottom liften it up, puttin sheet of carton between, maby second follow up of screwdriver-

action, to get the box from the bottom and than out. Boxweight with all in is arround 70 Kg. The box has never moved arround including a middleheavy

crash. But i wouldnt fix boxes with higher weight than 100 Kg in this way.

I think the question is about building the box. How do you secure the pieces of the box together?

im going to build the box in the malibu using the spax screws to try out.
