Sanitarium Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 ^^ he also doesn't have to mought those monster subs in a flat wall either. drop em into a box and the weight of the subs will almost hold them in place without screws lol.

Pariah Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I used 10-24 thread machine screws to hold my SA-12s. They seem to be the perfect size, haven't had any issues. I also haven't pushed a T nut out since I started putting a little wood glue on them before pounding them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karkov Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I have never used T nuts for any enclosures. my current subs (RF T2 15" x4) came with black screws and I plan on using them.

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? :-\ I never said that if that's what you think so be it Fyi iirc steve meade loves t nuts last I check he has a loud system............ Well you did insinuate it with your comment but it's all good, my last comment was tongue in cheek, although I'm not sure there is a smiley that represents that well...

Yep. I was told by a MOD on here, that has one of the biggest builds on here, to get the T-nuts. Thats where i got the idea. Fact is, if i need to be THAT EXACT on 32 holes... no thanks.

bbeljefe 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. MDF isn't soft. It's much harder than most woods, which is why t-nut barbs bend when you try to install them with a hammer or with a screw attached to a drill.
