I was planning on sealing the speaker wire hole with silicone...any benefit to using liquid nails in that application?

This time of year, you can't beat the weather here...I lived in Ohio until 4 years ago and I can't take the cold anymore when I go back for Christmas

I also read somewhere that it's good to drill pilot holes before drilling in wood screws. Anyone agree?

Yep it is. It keeps the wood from cracking. Just make sure you use a bit the same size as the shaft of your screw, minus the threads.

yea definitley predrill your holes....as far as sealing up the hole where you put the speaker wire through i prefer either urethane or a thick caulk like the stuff for roofing. i have had liquid nails chip away around speaker wires so i prefer to use something a little more flexible for that
