I found it works just fine. But you can try bondo or caulk That's for the joints of the box not the speaker area.

just-some-guy Audioholic Field Marshall Jul 16, 2009 #3 yep. use the glue. if the gaps are kinda big, put some slivers of wood in there first. otherwise the glue will just run out.

Joints of speaker boxes? TiteBond is great as long as the joints are cut well and don't have big gaps. Gorilla Glue is good, polyester resin, caulk, hot glue....

A alexwakelin Full Audioholic Jul 18, 2009 #5 Probably unnecessary, but when I finish a speaker box I run a bead of this over all the joints: It comes in an aerosol can so application is quick and easy.

It's only a few dollars. I use glue to glue and caulk to caulk type of thing. Caulk stays where you put it and glue runs so they don't act the same. For me it's a 'the right tool for the right job' approach but I have made due plenty of times.
