[QUOTE="PowerNaudio, post: 945706, member: 561215"] the only people i have seen build sub woofer enclosures without screws are the crappy prefab sub enclosures you buy for like 30~50 dollars. if you pre-drill every hole with the right size bit. you wont split the wood. you already glued it together, so predrill and add screws. i usually glue the panel and immediately screw it together. i wouldn't use Bond to seal the box interior, use something more like silicone, run your finger along the seam to fill in the edges. bond is more for the out side of the box to clean up where the pieces of wood meet and make it look good. as far as extra strength goes, fiberglass is pretty good for the edges, but proper bracing of the box is better. use screws! and brace, if you want the strongest box possible for your sub. that's just my opinion and experience. later.
