Not sure how to word this - Flush Mounted MDF Rings?

Home depot sells the 1/4-20 Tee nuts 4 for $0.98

Ah damn! Very good. I have a few things to do, then I planned to run up to Lowes to grab some MDF for a box build - just to change my setup a bit - make it 4 upfiring instead of 2 cabin facing and 2 angled facing the trunk ( I think I might be getting a bit of cancelation even though each sub has its own chamber. But I dont have a TermLab to test with, so I am hoping I can gain a little bit of noticable difference between 4 upfiring. We will see.

But I am not gonna use the T-Nuts just gonna flush mount it and screw em into the MDF since this box is only gonna be used maybe a month 2 months max... & with upfiring, flush mounted im not worried about them ripping out as someone stated earlier if I slammed on the brakes..

Had that happen one time in my buddies car with his subs had the back seats dropped and he ripped the e-brake so he didnt hit a car who slammed on his brakes ( why he ripped the e instead of just hitting his brakes idk ) but either way worked, anyways, one sub ripped flat out, the other ripped out like the top 3 screws.

Anyways, i am off to build.. I might take a few pics. But it isnt nothing fancy. So who knows. We will see.

Ill get on in a bit to check my other Poll for the ported box build I plan to do for these subs..

Like the ones he used above for the 6.5's? What do you mean by spin, I thought those would be ok since they have those 4 teeth that bite in?

When the teeth bend, have fun trying to get them out. Hurricane nuts have the teeth inside the hole, t-nuts don't.

I facking hate T-nuts.

BTW @sensai, I'm stealing "fack".

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

Honestly that's most likely what I am gonna do. With the baffle being 1.5" I will flush mount it 3/4 down so it will have 3/4 lip anyways. They will be up firing as well. I am not worried about them flying out. Unless maybe I were to flip the car..pray to god that don't happen. Smh. But this box will only be used for like a month or so. So the 3/4" flush mount should be fine for it.

Fack it. :lol:
