It's really not that big of a deal man, a little glue and a couple clamps will have that fixed within a few hours (Like LaCRX said)

I know it's not a big deal I'm just pissed it happened in the first place lol my day was already going shitty so this didn't help

Hell yeah, wood glue and clamps. And like someone mentioned above, coat that bitch in epoxy. Shouldn't have any more problems after that.

Don't sweat the small stuff man, life is full of setbacks and disappointment. For example, I'm in the process of collecting parts to build my own welder so I can fix the dog cage that my dog keeps tearing apart (and escaping from).

Yeah no shit, I just experienced some of that myself. Just built an enclosure for my ride and the SOB fell off my stool in the garage yesterday. Took a corner off that MFr and had cracks and shit in 2 other places. I took a much bigger roundover to that edge with the missing corner and epoxy'd the cracks. Adapt and overcome. But I hope my shit and f'd up when it gets ta playin.

Should of just used longer screws instead of counter sinking so **** much, not to mention the large diameter of the bolt.

haha, I remember during my last build for my hatchback the very tip of the wedge shaped enclosure was causing the entire thing to not fit and this was ~7 cubes too so not exactly small. Solution? Just grab the saw and lop off that tip. We cut a new piece to run across the front vertically to span the gap and viola she fit. Didn't end up losing that much airspace either. Adapt and overcome is exactly right.

Those are the same screws that were used for the factory adapters and I don't have anything in a size that will fit

i use bolts on the baffles into the car - any size you want. you don't need to worry about factory screws. you can reach through before you mount the speakers.

simply painted when i didn't have deadener

or not painted when i had deadener

used machine bolts and nuts to hold it in place

deadener to keep it waterproof

i've also used resin to harden and waterproof MDF rings before.

yea, the countersink is what screwed you. don't do that with MDF. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

FYI - the doors in the bottom pic is in my accord. i'll be undoing all of that very shortly to accommodate larger/deeper drivers. that mounting is too restrictive (airflow from rear). i'll use MDF next time as well, but resin and FG and making a cone-type shape that gets smaller instead of larger, and also open up the door metal more.

in the future - never place interior parts on the ground under the car. put them on top, back seat, or on a workbench. i've ALMOST ran over parts before.

you had an off day - one where you were rushing and shyt went bad. days when you are in a hurry, that happens.
