15. Now with the 9/64 bit, re-drill all the pilot holes in all the
Cleats. You should find ten of them.

Further, drill
through-holes at the other two marks near the “IN”
labels – four more holes.

16. Carefully drill four 9/64 through holes in the cabinet Front. These holes in the Front need to
be as accurate as possible for the amp to fit nicely into the cabinet, so be sure to hold the drill
perpendicular to the surface of the wood – or use a drill press. NOTE: These holes do not get
countersunk.
17. Countersinks: In this build, we used a countersink with stop collar on the 9/64 bit, so we drilled
and countersunk the cleats in one step. If you are countersinking in a separate step, go back
now and countersink all the holes in the Cleats, using your chosen method.
NOTE:
Be sure to countersink the last pair of holes on the long Cleats on the side marked “IN”,
so as to make a PAIR of cleats, not two identical cleats!
18. Install the Cleats: Run a bead of glue down the back of one cleat. Spread it out into a uniform,
thin layer with a screw.
152
Place two (or three) of the #6x1-1/4 wood screws (Part # SC61) into
the countersunk holes until they just protrude through the glue.
153
TRIPLE-CHECK YOUR LABELS
TO ASSURE THAT YOU ARE PUTTING THE CLEAT IN THE CORRECT SPOT! THIS IS VITAL TO A
DECENT OUTCOME! Place the screw tips into the mating pilot holes in the cabinet side.

TIP:
You will get cleaner holes
on the inside face of the cleat if you
can go straight through into a piece of
plywood or block of pine.
