Eh... Not really... You still get splits even when you pre-drill............

called predrill large enough where the screw still has bite but not have to split the wood to go in.

whether you predrill or not, if you get too close to the edge it will still split sometimes.

I dont have any cracks in my wood just a few small splits in the wood but nothing detrimental, there like hairline cracks but I wont make the same mistake twice

Ok, Today I finally tested the box after sealing & letting it dry etc.. I tested it with my hifonics brutus 1600w RMS amp & what can I say, this thing DROPS. I listened for port noise, couldn't detect anything but only know to listen out for chuffing. I listened around the box for any airleaks, none to find. I think maybe the box is slightly to big for the sub cant justify the reason why. Summing up tho, this thing DROPS LOW. im happy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

So you've never split the wood when drilling into the sides?
