I have a question about joints on a pair of 2 PI bass reflex speakers. I just cut my MDF to size last night, and this weekend I am going to assemble the cabinets. My question is if you guys recommend using biscuit joints for the cabinets, and if so what kind of glue? This seems the easiest route to me, but I am open to suggestions. If anybody has any input I would greatly appreciate it.

for what it's worth, i used dados on the sides - with the top and bottom sliding into these grooves - and rabbets along the entire perimeter of the front and back pieces so that they fit inside the sides. this may be more work than necessary but it's pretty solid. i also did mortise and tenon fitting for the inside braces - way more difficult than necessary and not recommended unless you're just practicing woodworking skills

It sets up too fast. Tougher to scrape off raw wood when dry. Harder on tools: planes, scrapers, etc.
White is all you need and has 2 to 3 times the open time. Great for biscuits and yummy on rolls, too.
Doesn't anybody cut splines anymore? Perfect for MDF and no jointer or biscuits to buy. Better alignment than biscuits, too.
