<p>Add glue to joints that will be subjected to stresses; such as vibration, twisting, turning, torquing, or the like.</p>
<p>When using pocket screws, a minimum of 2 is recommended at each joint, when space permits.</p>
<p>If one is experiencing splitting, go to a smaller diameter screw---in some cases, this will solve the splitting problem.</p>
<p> Some joinery methods, when using screws, will require a pilot hole.</p>

<p>Ok I found a photo of one of my cabinets, I laid the tweeters in it</p>
<p>I'm just wondering if the kreg jig would hold a 3/4 x 3/4 frame together. It would screw to the box face</p>
<p></p>

<p>Hello Ben,</p>
<p> This picture is of a box just like mine except the tweeters, they are built with 1/2" (13 ply) Acuaro plywood .</p>

<p>Here's a pic of the same cabinet I have built, I want my grill to go around the perimeter</p>
<p>and not block the horn.</p>

<p>You may be able to do it but I'm guessing there is a better way then pocket screws for something that size. Do you have a picture of something like what you are trying to do?</p>
