Yes I have done that, just make sure the glue covers 100%.

will the wood glue works for doing this kinda projects?

Use a roller and the glue will go on even. Get one of those gallons of elmers wood glue and roll it on. Then lay it flat and clamp it or put weights on it.

I grabbed a gallon of liquid nails and a couple cheap trowels, will that work better than the elmers glue?

Thee dude here said it holds stronger than wood will

liquid nails never gets as hard was wood glue. It always remains tacky. I don't use it.

What subs are you building the box for? If you are going to run a lot of power, you might end up splitting a panel on the inside and not even know it. Mdf chips in your spider is definitely not what you want.

i use titebond II...

a 6$ bottle of TB-II and no roller needed just use a scrap of thin poster board and spread the glue out all over then tack it together with a brad nailer to hold ot til the glue is dry

LN will never be as strong as a dedicated wood glue...

tests have been done and proven it more than once...

I used to think LN was better as well.... I was wrong..

No roller is needed but then again neither is a table saw or a router... but they sure do make it easier and more quality of a job.

x2 on not using Liquid Nails. Get Titebond or a sub-floor adhesive since they both create a bond between the two pieces of wood.
