Saturday, March 15, 2008 - 13:52 GMT I never use a nail gun with mdf. I prefer the control/strength of predrilling and screws. Looks good so far.

Monday, March 17, 2008 - 19:34 GMT I drilled pilot holes in my box and held fine. Caulk will work good from what I've heard, but they say it's kinda hard to clean off.

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 01:20 GMT It's inevitable in car audio that you will uninstall your gear. Be it amps, subs, or whatever. The only thing concrete built should be your box itself. Caulking or using any kind of adhesive for the sub to box is not advisable IMO. The flexible gaskets will do the job.
