Supercharged DCs Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 What is the problem with drywall screws? They work fine for myself and many others. Quote Bassless once again.

dimpthepimp Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Im having an isssue with them backing out. Don't know if it's cause i'm using coarse drywall screws or not. Cause ill play them and a couple days ill check the screws and they will be loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hmm, that seems odd. I have never had this issue... Maybe try duct taping over the screws? Should increase dBz too Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.

BeatBox Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 if thats not working id try this, you drill the hole put the small metal piece thru the back of the hole and install ur sub and once u put the screw in it will bite into the wood. not sure what the lil things are called but they sell them at lowes or the depot, heres a pic ive seen a few ppl on here use them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4killer_ Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Its called T nuttin lol. Over time the more you take the screws out and put em in again the wood they bite on deteriates and they become stripped out aka the just spin. I never had any back out though like start unscrewing them selves. T nutting obviously fixes this issue and is a good idea if you plan on taking out your subs very often.

PUNKYOU007 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 T nuts are probably the best. Few problems I have ran into with them though. Make sure you glue them bitches when you install them. Nothing like going to tighten like the second to last bolt and the damn t nut falls into the box. Then you have to take them all out and start over. Another issue I have had, Even when you screw them, In MDF it is easy to over tighten them and just plain tear the MDF. Also you better make damn well sure that speaker doesn't move when you are drilling all the holes, just one more thing to fuck your day up when you tighten like half the bolts just to find out some of your holes are not lining up right. Just a few things I have encountered. Also if you dont cut the hole perfect, like if you cut the sub hole a tad to big, the t nuts can stick out into the cutout and really provide next to nothing for strength. But if you have none of these problems they should work great! LOL. Another option is go to your local hardware store and get you a box of #12 or 14 hex head screws, make sure you pre drill you holes. Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C.

Yeah if your holes are wore out, which is what using coarse thread screws will do then rotate the subs and start new holes. If you use a wood screw or even a drywall screw, PRE DRILL it will make things easier in the end. Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C.
