Yep the glue is your problem. Its okay... you tried. Now you know how to do it right.
Wood Glue all the joints (both peices) and clamp them together while u screw them right. Do this will all your joints and when its all dry, THEN you silicon the joints and all is well |

if the box is flexing enough to tear apart you might want to double baffle everywhere too. |
