What Size Bolts/screws You Guys Using For Your Dc Subs

[pervitizm]

I was at home depot yesterday trying to buy some t-nuts and coarse threaded bolts to use for my subs, but I didn't know what size to go with. I was going to use 5/16 diam t-nuts but they seemed a bit to big for the hole opening on my Lvl 4s. So my question is what should teh t-nut and bolt diam be for use with the subs?

I used 1 1/2"L x 1/4" 28thread bolt for some subs and screws for others.

the biggest size that will fit. lol.

Im sure you can fit at least a 1/4 inch bolt in the whole.

I know im using 1.4 for my port bolts and t nuts, have yet to tnut my subs in yet.

if you goto ace hardware just get a single bolt in a few different sizes and try them in your sub, return the sizes you dont use and get all the same size ones.

and ass for the length, that all depends on how thick your front baffle is.

I need 4 inch bolts for my front baffle to mount my sub/ or ports.

but if you only have a 3/4 inch front baffle, a 1-1 1 1/4 inch bolt is going to be more then enough needed length.

They have everything you would need as far as bolts go except some stainless bolts.....(they didn't have 1 1/2"L x 1/4"28thread in stainless for my batteries )

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I kind of knew I was gonna need a bolt lenght of at least 1.5L I did a double top baffel on my box. I just wasn't sure on the diam size of the bolt to use. So I'll go by Lowes tomorrow and pickup some 1/4 diam bolts and t-nuts for my box. I'll use the 5/16 t-nuts and bolts for my box terminals.

the only thing you have to worry about is the head clearing the rim of the subs.

yea sometimes its hit or miss

Im lucky tho, we have an actual ace in my city, then we have a trilling true value hardware and it use to say ace on the building/bags/receipts (but its family owned and not corporate) but since the real ace came in town the other store dropped the ace. But between the two stores you can usally find what you need
