I do the same as al.....I screw down everything, lol. I'm just glad your router jump didn't sever anything from yer person......a router is a nasty unforgiving bitch........
Yeah no shit.. Same here. I was more mad I let it happen than anything to do with the damage to the piece. And that 1/4" spiral bit bastard was fully distended and ready to whoop somebody's ass. I'm glad it didn't take a turn at me. That crap shall NEVER happen again. Let the grip get limp while running, while probably cut through, while dickin' around with the stupid power cord. The plethora of things I did wrong were a perfect storm. In any case, trudging forward, and thinking how much fun attaching, and sealing is going to be.. Shoooooo!
Glad you are safe, that's number one priority. Everything else that happened is just honing your skills :thumbup:
So glue and screw the baffle layers, or t-nuts?
I do have a whole bag full of "hurricane" nuts.. Not to crazy about those for a sub box because if one spins on you, you're screwed, but for just a baffle with access to it, no risk. Still, I'd imagine glue & screw would be preferred, once the baffle is done and ready to mount.
So in mean time I'll show a wire job I did a while back since I had committed to a big three. Got it cleaned up with a little custom "use whatcha got" for the battery hold down. This was some months ago. Love having scrap stuff around and rivnuts.

Very nice! I'd say glue and screw the layers too, and of course fill in the screw heads later to keep it all stealthy. Now, sub mounting? Machine screws and hurricane nuts. Yeahhhhhh baby
Funny I think in haste I ordered a standard 1/4" bit instead of an upcut. I think that contributed to the router boo boo. It should pull dust spiraling up I'd imagine. Looking at the bit I think it's shoving dust into the cut groove. Bad recipe. Gonna pick up a proper up-spiraling bit now.
Also plan is since I don't like the necessary gaps on the sides, doing a 2-piece 1/2 or 1/4" layer even in front. The struts are narrower than the plane where I intend to mount the baffle, I'm forced to be narrower left to right leaving roughly 1" gaps on each side, otherwise the single baffle won't go in.
If I do a front 2-pc (let's call it a beauty panel) split down the middle, I can install it easy and completely flush on each side for better/easier sealing.
So it'll be 1/4", 3/4" with sub attached, and 3/4" for second strength layer. Chamfer or round over the front 1/4" around the drivers nice. I think it'll work great. Learning curve continues.
