Brian2435 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 So is there any easy/quick way to fix an enclosures stripped holes without drilling new ones(which is probably what I'll end up doing)
Cashdollar2009 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Put silicone down into the stripped holes and drill new one, the gasket will do fine sealing the old one's once the silicone dries. But if you are determined to keep the same mounting position, go pick up t-nuts from Lowes or Home Depot or whatever hardware store is local to you.

mikeg321 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 You could try wooden match sticks and wood glue. Fill the screw hole with wood glue, insert th match stick then snap off the top, let it dry then if the match sticks out any just sand it down so it's flush. If that don't work you could drill out the holes and use T nuts. 4 fully loaded Fi sp4 15's 2 Crescendo bc5500s Crescendo c1100.4 6 focal mids Vifa tweets 5 XS Power d3100's Pioneer avh-p4200dvd All crammed into a mustang. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150569-mikeg321s-fi-nendo-mustang-getting-walled-videos-page-4/
mlstrass Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 glue toothpicks into the holes, of if they're really big you can use golf T's...

But take one out of my book... Get the hex head screws so you are less likely to push them through, do NOT force them, and do a test thread with each screw/nut before you put them in the box ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
bass_stalker Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 i know for doors we've drilled out the holes and put those plastic pieces that you use to put screws into concrete and glued them in. so maybe try that JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.
Brian2435 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 Ya I'll actually probably just take 2 minutes and drill new holes to get an "almost" new seal to the enclosure. And use some of these techniques to fill the original holes if I need to. Thanks a lot for the help guys
