ALPINE408 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Deck screws n8? Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbeljefe Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I disagree deck screws over 20 installations without stripping or backing out holding up 70lbs subs in a car that toppd out at a 164 dbs my windshield broke before the screwsThat's good for you but it doesn't mean most people can do it successfully. If you used a drill, you obviously have the dexterity and experience to do it without over driving the screws. I've trained and managed a lot of low voltage techs over the years and trust me, most people have a hard time learning how to use drills without breaking screws or stripping holes. You might also check the gas level in your mower with a cigarette lighter as a light source once or twice... but that doesn't set a safe precedent for everyone. ;-) Facebook: facebook.com/audioanarchyllc Instagram: audioanarchyllc Youtube: youtube.com/bbeljefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah alpine I could probably get away with 4 per woofer and be OK with it. I'll take those an impact and 30 seconds a woofer over fighting with tnuts again THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

bbeljefe Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Lmao well if you read any of the comments about t nuts the same analogy gos for your t nut install as well No, because t-nuts are designed to be used in locations where installation and removal are expected. Siding and deck screws are not, so there is no "proper" way to use them as speaker fasteners.

ALPINE408 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 T nuts are to much of a pain in the ass for me there is a point of diminishing return If they are your choice of fastners good for you ill be over here with the loud guys that don't go threw the hassel of t nuts in a wall with 70lb + subs Have you ever had your woofers blown?

bbeljefe Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 So you're saying that I can't have a loud system because of the fasteners I use? Even though using them for me isn't going through too much hassle? :-\ Facebook: facebook.com/audioanarchyllc Instagram: audioanarchyllc Youtube: youtube.com/bbeljefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 Xtreme Fosgate Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I thought about using then myself but like Kylar said I read about too many people complaining about them for me to go through the hassle of using them.. They probably work really well with real wood but I don't think MDF (too soft) is the best application for them IMO. Just get some beefy stainless/galvanized screws like N8 said and be done with it.
