I'm in the process of making my first ever box...
How do you guys run speaker wire into your box? Terminals on the outside? Drill a hole?

I usually drill a hole, run the speaker wire through and seal it with Liquid Nails. You can also run it through the speaker port if you're going ported.

I do the same, drill a hole, and run the wire out of it.

PLEASE DO NOT RUN THE SPEAKER WIRE OUT THE PORT. That looks so terrible. I drill a hole slightly larger then the wire, feed it through, then seal it up. I don't use terminal cups, they leak air.

Is Liquid Nails better to use than regular wood glue?
How do you usually assemble the box? I was planning on setting up a joint first with wood glue, then fastening, then setting up a few more with glue, fastening, etc.

They both will seal it up, the wood glue is more liquid type, so it will be a lil harder to work with. LN is thicker and might work better

I use liquid nails. Only problem with it is that its thick as hell but fills any gaps along the way.
Wood glue would be best if all edges were perfectly flat and a perfect 90...
But they are not, so liquid nail it
