Hey guys. I just ordered a pair of Adire 281s and would like to start building the cabinets (vented) this weekend. I've read through some past threads, but I still have a few questions. This will be my first DIY project, as well as my first big carpentry project, so any help would be great. I plan on getting the initial pieces cut at a woodworking place, so that won't be a problem.
1) When assembling, what glue should I use and should I use finishing screws?
2) What order to assemble? Also, it seems some people put on the baffle last, and some the back. Which would you suggest?
3) How can I avoid the T-nut problems several of you have had? I know I can just put the baffle on after they arrive, but I would like to have it painted and ready to go when the kits arrive.
4) Where/how should I mount the crossovers?
5) Should I sand and/or seal any surfaces before painting?
Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'll have more questions later, but this will be enough to get me started (and maybe help out others).
