That's true if you install the sub while the silicone is still wet. But once it's dry (1-6 hours) its all good...

Agreed its true. Seen quite a few rotted w0 and punch surrounds courtesy of silicone fumes attacking the foam surrounds. I dont use liquid nails, frankly I think the crap is overrated. Instead I use Elmer's probond - now THAT is a glue! Like gorilla glue but better! The only drawback is the cost. :(

Many of my spl boxes were initially assembled with conventional wood glue. In such cases a copious amount was used, then after the box was built, I'd apply a thick bead line along all seams, one plane at a time. Typically these additional glue seams would take 24hours to completely dry so a box would take 4 days to build. The on top of that would go fiberglass to truely make the box air tight.

Never said to use the silicone as an adhesive, only a sealant. The Elmers, along with a few brads and several coarse thread #8 screws, works great for me for gluing. :great:

btw - im impressed with that subzone box. First prefab that has EVER impressed me structurally. I need to get ahold of one to see how it sounds as well and to inspect the carpeting and seams. Gotta keep tabs with the competition! :D

Thats about the pefect box size for most 12s too...how much power will you be giving the Adires?

^^^^X2... except im probably not going to try get a hold of one... but it looks REALLY nice!
