My kits for the towers arrived today.The test fit went pretty well I may need to file one woofer hole open a bit more but the tweeters fit great. So next Question.
What size screws should I look for and what thread size?
Also do I let the crossovers dangle around or do you secure them somehow?
Some people seem to silicone caulk the insides does this improve things.
And one last question of interest.
Who would like to share their first songs they played on their new speakers I'm thinking some Dire Straights Pink Floyd or something with a lot of brass in it. Any suggestions?

I like using black number 6 pan head screws. Every hardware store in town will have them, but usually not in black. If you can't find them in black, get the standard ones and paint the heads black after installation. That's how I always used to do it before I started buying the ones that already have a black finish.

About the cabinets and crossovers, I usually wire-tie the coil and cap to the cross-brace. If the cabinet panels are cut on a table saw with true edges and assembled with clamps, then you won't have any leaks, and no need to caulk the edges. But if you're unsure that your cabinet is airtight, it won't hurt to add a bead of silicon along the inside edges.
