Hi Guys, I've assembled the crossovers for the GR Research Desktop Mini and XLS Encore and am about ready to put them in the cabinets. However, i can't get a drill inside the cabinets to make pilot holes in the MDF so just after some tips on how to proceed!?

I've previously just used hot glue on other projects, which worked but was hoping to screw them in!

I use a right angle attachment for my drill for the pilot holes. It is still a bit awkward but works. I don’t use the drill to put the screws in, it can cause some issues. I know there are other options, but this is what I have done with success.

I use self tapping wood screws like SPAX screws so I don't need to drill pilot holes in the cabinet, just through holes in the crossover board. A flex shaft with a battery screwdriver works well. I find the screwdrivers that have adjustable head angles to be the easiest to work with followed by those with the head at a 90 degree angle to the handle. Straight handles work, but I find a longer flex shaft works better with them.

Thanks guys! I'll sus out the appropriate attachment

The 90 degree drill attachment was a good tip. Worked perfectly.
