grebnereon Silver Member Username: Grebnereon Post Number: 152 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 17:56 GMT i figured wood screws but i wasnt sure if i should use self tapping wood screws, or drill holes and just use deck screws, or what.....so would you recommend using the same screws that you use to put your box together???like 1 5/8 deck scews? the wood on the front of my box is 1.5 " thick so thew would work length wise

grebnereon Silver Member Username: Grebnereon Post Number: 154 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 19:45 GMT where can i buy these? i can see how these t nuts would be better than just wood screws, but do you think its really necessary? atleast for me? im installing 12 AA arsenals
Chad Lee Gold Member Username: Bestmankind Los Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 5399 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 20:02 GMT you can get those at home depot. thats where i bought mine. i don't know if its necessary but i like to use them cause i know it guarantees a tight mount.
Steinkeastg Silver Member Username: Adam_s Wisconsin USA Post Number: 223 Registered: Aug-04	Posted on Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 20:17 GMT I would say get them....u can get them at any hardware store....they are good becuase you get a good seal and if you have to take the sub for any reason you dont have to worry about messing up the mdf.
grebnereon Silver Member Username: Grebnereon Post Number: 155 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 22:41 GMT ok i will get them, do you use anything besides the tnuts and the bolt, like washers or anything?
Steinkeastg Silver Member Username: Adam_s Wisconsin USA Post Number: 224 Registered: Aug-04	Posted on Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 07:30 GMT No nothing but the t nut and then a bolt
Steven Norris Gold Member Username: Stnorris IA US Post Number: 1321 Registered: Apr-06	Posted on Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 09:39 GMT ya those work perfect. its cool, cause you can take sub in and out as many times as you want, and not harm the mdf itself. its worht it. just make sure u get the right screws, with the right thread. like course screw and course tnut.

Mark S Gold Member Username: Rzarector Coquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 1303 Registered: Dec-04	Posted on Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 18:12 GMT screws hold just fine.. the problem is when u start takin screws out and putting them back in it wears the thread that the screw has cut into the wood and eventually it wont hold
