how long until i can put sub into new box?

[yne721 10+ year member]

i'm in the process of building a box at the moment(yes i'm taking pictures for a buildlog, even though it's nothing special), and since this is my first box, how long do i have to wait to put my sub in it?

if i finish it in the next two hours, can i go swap them out, or do i have to wait a while because the bottle of glue says "don't stress for 24 hours"

If you caulk, they say it has a fume that eats the subwoofers surround if you dont let the caulk air out for 24hours......But, Why not just wait a day so no problems occur?

i don't have time during the week to do stuff like this, and i hate waiting a whole week to do something.

there is no caulk though...

Did you screw the box together or just glue? If you used screws, it should be fine. If not let the glue cure.

Personally, I would let it go for 24 hrs before using it. You could probably go ahead and install it all, just pull the fuse on your power wire, then you wont be "stressing" it for 24 hrs. Then tomorrow just pop in the fuse.

I normally drop it in to test it right away. Then I will pull it out to finish it off. Normally is a good 2 or 3 hours untill it is in the car for good. That's me though.
