[QUOTE="drpeeb, post: 5883391, member: 609183"] I don't have much experience with car stereo subs, and I have very little space in my trucks extended cab, so I want to be able to re-cut/ re-shape/ re-configure the box until I'm happy with it. With this small space I think I need to maximize the sub enclosure as much as possible. With it still not glued I can unscrew it, replace a panel or 2 or 3, or whatever, and re-screw it back together. If it's glued I have to start over with new MDF every time I want to try a different configuration. For instance right now I want to try it ported, so I will still be able to un-screw it to add a port (either PVC or an MDF slotted port) and then screw it all back together. And, if I don't like the port, I can unscrew it, remove the port, replace any panel(s) I have cut, and screw it all back together again. Once I have a final, I will probably go ahead and finally glue it. Until then it's a prototype. I was just wondering if people were pounding their un-glued boxes apart, because I'm not seeing that on mine. It may just not have enough power to do that with screws every 4". [/QUOTE]
