the hot glue stuff is surprisingly strong - i really had to force the 2 long sides in and the end pieces didn't move at all. i'll see how it is in the morning i've realised that i didn't put glue on the ends of the longer sections although i think i'll get away with it on this one. i'll do the other one correctly - i'm hoping i can make all these early mistakes on the stands and get the speakers right. it's daunting but fun. who knows i may even take a crack at the crossover myself - then again maybe not! cheers julian.
