jmilch Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I use 3/4" grade 8 bolts or larger for any xplodes I install. I of course just drill out the screw holes accordingly and use high strength loc tite to hold sony's in Quote Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD | Hertz 6.5 | Alpine Type R 6x9 | Custom 200A Alt | Knu Flek 1/0 Big 3 and all wiring | Eclipse EA3422 | AudioQue 2200d | DC XL 12 | Red Oak Box ~2.8 cubes @ 30 hz | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 hi i recently got my hands on a sony xplod XS-L11037 and a sealed box but it had no screws to screw it into the box. i was wondering if anyone can tell me what is the right size screw i need. and im looking for an amp to power the sub it is 200 rms- 800 peak. anyone have any amplifier suggestions. I use 1 5/8 coarse thread drywall screws for all my enclosures. As for an amplifier, I would get a RF P200.2 and bridge it at 4ohm, and be sure to set the gains properly. Should be a perfect combo 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.

I of course just drill out the screw holes accordingly and use high strength loc tite to hold sony's in Don't forget dual lock nuts with JB weld overtop of them. Come on guys, we can't really give this guy a hard time. I'm sure several of us where there at one time, some good advice and a few weeks on this forum will get him in the right direction. Honest answer: Any 1"+ coarse thread screws will work well. I used 1 5/8" coarse thread drywall screws on my boxes. Honestly to hold the sub in though I prefer t-nuts. They allow you to remove/reinstall the sub as many times as needed without having to worry with holes stripping out, screws breaking, etc. Quote -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassaholicsfl Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Lmao seriously guys. Any screws that are 3/4 or longer should be fine. Xplods are starter subs. These guys bash the heck out of xplod users... Quote 2001 Dodge Ram Quad Cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomabanga1986 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 for t-nuts do u glue em in or just hammer em in? when i build my new box im gunna use em, i got a few laying around, is there any special bolt or just w'e works? and i lost the gasket thing that goes around the basket so would it harm if i used small washers? maby some with rubber on em for ur sub drywall screws will work, i use different ones for mine tho, i dunno what kind tho, i seem to have problems with the heads breaking off of the fine thread drywall screws, maby the shank aint big enough tho reason i ask is im gunna do a downfire box and i dont want my subs falling out and what knot also the t-nuts we speak of will help u add "beauty panels" where there no place to attach to, just drill a hole, hammer them in, and use a bolt with according size/thread and works good another tip, if u want to paint ur screws/bolts for a custom look, take a old card board box, stick them threw all the way to the head, and u can spray away at it, wont effect threads and looks good here are the t-nuts we speak of there the same thing used on bottom of furniture for levelers and what knot i was once a , glad some people decided to help me rather than on every idea i had lol good luck with w/e u figure out Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) for t-nuts do u glue em in or just hammer em in? when i build my new box im gunna use em, i got a few laying around, is there any special bolt or just w'e works? I did a down fire box and I used 1/4" T-nuts. I drilled the hole out for the T-nut then put some wood glue on the side that presses up against the wood then just used my bolt to tighten the T-nut into the wood Edited August 15, 2011 by Hotdog Quote (NEW) 2004 F-150 Build Log -->http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192208-hotdogs-f-150-build-log/ 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Build Log --> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/114380-hotdogs-2003-mountaineer-build-log-20-removed/page__gopid__1602379#entry1602379 2008 Equinox Build Log --> http://www.stevemead...g/#entry1475764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
