[QUOTE="Tom Manchester, post: 58842, member: 82"] Re: Sub box construction question? I do all 3; I put glue on the joint for strength, a good air seal, and to prevent cabinet rattle. Then I use an air powered brad nailer as I put the cabinet together because you can precisely line the edges of the joint up and tack them in place as you go along. Finally I use a countersink bit and drill a few pilot holes, just a couple per side of cabinet is usually fine, and use 1 1/4" coarse thread drywall screws to add extra strength and pull the joint together for a good glue bond. The screws also help keep the joint from splitting if the cabinet gets dropped. Finally fill the screw and nail holes with bondo, sand, and paint. [/QUOTE]
