Hello DIY pro audio speaker cabinet builders.

I have a simple construction question.  I am building a cabinet with multiple panels inside that are part of the cabinet design.  These internal panels have been attached to the bottom of the cabinet with glue and pocket screws.  I will do the same for the sides, baffle and rear of the cabinet.  When I get ready to put the top on the cabinet I won't be able to get inside to put pocket hole screws in due to the design.  How would you attach the top of the cabinet?

1) Just clamps and glue

2) Brad nails and glue

3) Glue plus screws through the top panel into the internal panels from outside

Basically I am wondering if just glue is strong enough.  Baltic birch is the material.  Use will be portable use but almost always in just one (church) building.

Thanks,
