When mounting a subwoofer in it's box, what type of screws should be used?

 

Wood screws

 

 

I think sheet metal screws grip MDF better than wood screws. If you're building the box you can't go wrong with machine screws and t-nuts.

 

im using t nuts and machine screws. this is because if you take the screws out and put them in the same holes a bunch of times over time you will not be able to tighten the screws as much as the first few times to tap that wood.

 

 

thanks for the info guys! right now i'm gonna be using a pre-fab box (i know, i know) untill i can afford to get a nice custom one built, so i htink for now the woodscrews should be aight. the custom box will get the t-nuts and machine screw for sure!

 

Did you get a new sub Harsheel?

 

JB Weld!

 

Yeah, my dad stole my 10W6v2 so i was using his 12W3v2 until now. I found a 12W6v2 on black market and convieniently payed w/my dad's credit card

 

I use 1.5" coarse thread drywall screws. the grip the best of any screw i've come across over the years. Of course i have only taken my sub out of the box once in 2+ years so I haven't had to worry about them stripping holes out (which they will, easily)

 

This is what I use...

 

I use 1 to 1 1/4" coarse thread drywall screws. If I take the sub out I will use the same screws to put it back in, but I will squirt some caulk in each hole bfore I put the screw back in to give it more strength. And I will wait for it to dry before I tighten it down all the way.
