Every 4inches or 3inches?

Its better to do 4 inches anyway, the screws will just be there to help the glue dry tighter.

ALRIGHT, all the boxes ive built sealed and ported are airtight. if you use enough glue shoulnt have to use silicon. a friend of mine uses a spray sealer, that actuly penatrates the MDF. its used for roofing.

Uhh why?

I wouldn't call them a must...I also don't like just drilling a hole and sealing it. If you're not going to use a terminal cup, at least get a good set of binding posts and use those to attach your cables.

But if you do anything with bi-wiring, then they become very attractive to use //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
