Hello, thanks guys.
I have the fiber le5 enclosures which came as part of a deal, I will be using them on the 4315 cabinets.
can anyone answer to which type of glue I should be using with them they had a yellowish color glue originally. And came from l100t3 speakers, thanks

I'd use any RTV silicone.

Looks like regular ol' hot glue.

What the h is hot glue. Like from a glue pistol you mean?

Yes its a hot glue used in the factories for both the fiber and plastic cans. If you have rough surfaces you can use epoxy too, which doesn't set so fast. The factory is gluing those things before the baffle is set in the box, which is a little bit easier. ;)
The hot glue sets too quick for me on some jobs. But any speaker shop needs a glue gun handy.

There different variations on the glue sticks around, meant for different jobs..

Im not buying a glue pistol, anyother options. I do need to bond the cabinet seems as well
after glueing with tightbond II.

Whatever you use will need a way to "clamp" it to the baffle. Once you have that worked out most any glue will do. the silicone suggestion is a good one.
