Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3198 Registered: Mar-04 | put 1 5/8" deck screws ~5" apart, predrill, use glue on all joints, and caulk the inside. gorrilla glue works great, but if you are not used to glue that expands while drying, you may use too much and it will seep out of the joints...you only need a thin layer of gorrilla glue. (read the box) allow the caulk to dry before installing the subs. and like everyone always says...measure twice, cut once. |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 496 Registered: Nov-05 | Yea... lol.. piece the box together by building a 'rough' box by laying the pieces together to see how everything fits. There were times I flat out messed up, measured twice and everything was right, Turned out I just made the piece the wrong size on my plans Lol. Be patient and don't rush it. |
