Even over glueing doesnt hurt anything... it maybe EXTREMELY over doing it.... but its better to over do something that isnt hurtting anything, then it is to under do it... and mess up and have to do it again.

Looks pretty good bro, but yeah thats a lot of screws lol. BTW wheres the holes for the subs?

 

[HardHittaz00 10+ year member]

lol, the subs haven't gotten here yet... And yeah, this was my first serious box build, I didn't learn until after I pumped it full of screws that it was too many, and I used heavy duty liquid nails...

Ouuuccchhhh, that wast the first mistake, Liquid Nails. I've used it before in box builds, it works......but not as good as good old cheap wood glue.

Actually wood glue (be it Elmer's or whatever) is generally better because it will create an actual chemical bond between the joints, apposed to the physical bond that the liquid nails provides.

But dont expect your box to fall apart with Liquid Nails, it will be just find...

Precisely, the wood glue makes the piece bond together like one piece, Liquid Nails is just some plain strong glue. I would much rather just use good ol' wood glue and know that I won't have a single leak, that is of coarse with my perfectly straight cuts. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

edit- and wood glue is 12381723981723 times easier to get off your fingers

center divider was built out to far you shouldve stopped a few inches before the baffle other then that looks good.
