Posted June 1, 200817 yr Just built this a few days ago...havin some power issues so I can't put it in the car quite yet, but here's the build.Hopefully someone can help me out here... as you all know, the edges are easy to clamp down so they don't move while you are screwing them in, but how do you do the port...my port kept moving like this. What I had to do, was just glue it down, and Silicon it until it dried, THENNNN i tipped the box on its side and screwed it down, but this kinda defeats the point of the glue then.. any techniques you guys could give me?? Thanks. I used silicon II and resin on all the edges and corners..... somehow a few pieces of 1/2" MDF got in there... I honestly have NO CLUE how that happened...its absolutely mind boggling, bcause it was all cut from the same sheet........????????
June 1, 200817 yr Author bump... can someone please give me some tips for properly screwing down the port piece? This is my third box, and I still don't know how to do it right.
June 1, 200817 yr box looks good! for the port...i've always been able to clamp mine down, if not i just hold it in place and lightly screw it in till i make sure it grabs where i want it to, then tighten it in place. maybe have someone hold it in place while you do it?
