The "caulking" that is used from my expereince is LIQUID NAILS in the sqeez tube or in a caulking tube that fits in a caulk gun OR SILICON caulk is also a sutible choice.That is just what I've used I may have been useing the wrong stuff all this time though.

Yeah... I was reading up on building one from Crutchfield and I believe it says you can just use typical silicone.
Although it's caulking not cocking...LOL

I used to use silicone until I took some subs out of an old box and noticed that it was peeling off. Now I use liquid nails, not only to seal but on the joints during construct. Liquil nails not only seals, it is also a bonding agent.
