Straight cuts, screws, liquid nails and brace the inside. If it is gonna get a lot of power, fiberglass resin on the inside. If you do all that and still "break" your box, don't ask me. With that said, it is just a matter of putting the sides together in the right places.

For some reason, not too many people believe in screws on this forum.

 

[WOT]

To me it sounds like it has an internal brace that has seperated form the back wall, and when the wall flexes a little, its slapping against it

Pop the sub out and take a look, why make a **** thread about it before even knowing what happened. Take 5 min to pull out the screws and check

And like slate said, I dont get why people dont pop a couple screws in, I wouldnt never trust glue alone personally, but aparently you can.....

the screws just hold the box in place while the glue drys.

u dont need screws at all if u properly glue the box and use the appropriate glue.

Gorilla Glue expands quite a bit...not good to use for joints.

I'd have to go against the liquid nails (wood glue is what you want), but x2 most of that

i would notify the person that built the box also, they should be willing to either rebuild or fix the problem, which could either mean somekind of refund or a new box. by no means should a box have any sort of failure within 2 weeks of using it. It was either a mistake or just poorly built

booo on the liquid nails. wood glue > liquid nails.

no need for screws if you use wood glue.
