Thats the first time you have ever given me a compliment...


I would think something no more than 1 1/2" cause when you nail it in, the nail gets sunk into the wood a fair amount.

there are many box builders that don't use any nails or screws even in the clamping phase...they just use clamps and glue...ergo the nails and screws aren't really needed if done properly. If you go to the DD site and click on the box builder they recommend, he has boxes that are just glued.

at the same time, if you got a reasonably large enclosure, with a good amount of power to it, that glue wont hold up for very long.

vibrations will eventually break the seal of the glue.

i dont trust nails on enclosures, only screws

my thinking too. the only nail i might trust, which would smash the box to bits and split the box like crazy would be a framing nailer.
