To predrill or Not to predrill

Lewass Silver Member Username: Lewass Bloomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 258 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Thursday, March 16, 2006 - 22:16 GMT I'm just about done with my box for 3 10's, I am wondering if I should predrill the holes before I screw in the subwoofers themselves???? In the past I have not predrilled but just drilled in, what should I do??

It turned out amazing, I can't believe how great they sound, probably the best sounding subs i've ever heard, and it's my first box!

If you don't you can get it where the wood gathers on the edges and pushes back up. I like to predrill with a very small bit and then screw in.

I don't have enough power to push them all the way, my next buy will have to be a new amp, maybe a JL 1000/1 and run them at a 4 ohm load..
