it depends on what size bolt you can fit through your mounting holes on your woofers basket. I drilled out my basket a little more to fit 1/4 bolts and i had to get them longer than 3 inches as my subs gasket was about 3/4" thick and the baffle was 1.5" thick so remember the length as well for how much space your subs gasket takes up as well as the depth of your baffle that you mount the sub onto. A 3/8 should be alright for you though.

Did you mean 10-32 ? 3/8 would be huge!

lol sorry i am totally not thinking right. i did use 1/4x3" bolts for my SMD though. I didnt have to drill the basket out too much to make them fit so it wasnt a big deal. I was originally thinking to tap the basket with my tap and die kit i have so that the basket was threaded but when my dad saw me doing that he reminded my dumbass that the threads were more than likely not going to line up and cross thread to try and put the bolt through the thread pattern on my basket and the thread pattern on the t-nuts.
