I wanted to know what the best way to secure subwoofers in a box is. I especially wanted to know what would be best for 1.5" thick or more for an MDF enclosure. Any ideas are welcome. I am just looking for someting other than just "any old screw"

You could Glue AND Screw.

That would make it a bitch to take it out...

What I use is a T-nut hammered into the back of the baffle. Only time I've had a problem with them is if you just destroy the back of the baffle putting it in.

Never really thought about it but you could also glue those into place.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

i have thought aboout T-Nuts but do they make them long enough to fit through 1.5" or more?

They don't need to, they basically act like a nut on a bolt

Ahhh. didnt really think that one through. haha

Also what kind of glue? Would Liquid Nails or some type of calk work just as well?

I honestly would glue them, its going to make it a huge pain in the ass if you ever need to remove them.
