ok...here is my last post about my new SDA 2Bs.

One of the side fabric grills is loose at the lower end (lower quarter I guess). it was like that when I bought it.
What is the best way to fasten the side fabric grill to the cabinet? Super glue?

That is really the only blemish on these speakers at all and I am sure that will be a quick fix but I don't know what would be the best fastener to get the side grill panel fastened to the cabinet again and would appreciate any suggestions.

Now off to listening to these great speakers for the rest of the night (I'll check the forum again in the morning).

Thanks again. Have a great night!

    Liquid Nails. You'll have to clamp or weight the panel tight until the adhesive cures.

    I had the same thing, Elmer's or generic wood glue and a five or six heavy books (weights) on top, set overnight.

    If you have a glue gun, hot melt glue designed for bonding wood will also work well & you won't have to wait more than a minute or so & you're done.

    Thanks. Sounds easy enough - lay speaker on side, apply glue and let set. Right?
    Just another question (or two) and I am all set:
    Is it best to apply glue to the back of side grill or to cabinet? Does it matter?
    And should I apply glue just to edges or to all of the surface?

    Thanks again.

    Near the edge & maybe a dab or two in the middle to keep it from potentially vibrating. You don't want to make it impossible to get off. In the event you need to redo the fabric some day you don't want to destroy the cabinet or panel prying it off.
