i have a full function woodshop, and have made many cases etc. before, just never used it to do a production run of cabinets. that's why the screws comment set off a few questions, i love using wood glue and crown staples. yeah it takes a little more time and work, but you get smooth lines and a great bond. rarely do any staples back out, and i don't have to worry about stripped threads or anything when repairs may be needed... thanks |

...18MM void-free plywood (3/4" rough equivalent) as a minimum for subs. 11 mm will probably resonate, unless ultra-engineered. |

If you are relying on screws for strength, you are using the wrong glue. Most commercially built speaker enclosures are assembled without metal fasteners of any type. Just bringing this to your attention in case... |

Where screws win for me is if your plywood has a slight warp to it then the screw will pull the warp out while a staple or nail (especially if shot out of a gun) oftentimes will not. My two cents |
