I glue the insulation in, but I used to staple. If you have a strong staple gun, it makes more sense because it is fast and easy. The only thing that is a possible disadvantage is that staples can come loose inside the speaker, particularly if the gun isn't strong enough to drive the staples deep into the wood. So that's why I stopped using staples, although I'm not categorically against this method of attachment.Is it warm there too? Where do you live? What are some of the fun things that everyone likes to do there?
