[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 6517413, member: 587873"] I've raised the question of using only glue in an enclosure versus glue and screws on this forum in the past, and also Termpro. I have yet to see anyone argue that screws and glue are the best way to go, although this has always been my method of building. I have one of Daves boxes where everything is glued. I'll tell you it was a total ***** tuning that box. I used my Dremel to cut the wall of the port, then tried to bash the remaining piece out with a hammer, it sucked. It took me several minutes to get that glued piece of wood to loosen up. I've done the same thing with my screwed and glued boxes and had no problem at all getting the wood to loosen up when I wailed on it with a hammer. Using the glued only method seems to be where it's at for an enclosure. If I had the wood clamps big enough for the job I'd do it that way every time too, but I don't. If your building a wall it may be different, I have no experience at all with walls so I couldn't honestly say. [/QUOTE]
