fuggnore Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Okay, i have a 15'' L7 in a 5.8 cubic foot box. I dont want to mount the subwoofer with screws like you would normaly do. so i figured i would go with bolts since its a little more heavy-duty. but my question is how would i go about sealing the bolts on the inside of the box? or would the pressure of the nut tighting on the outside of the box keep the head of the bolt tight enough on the wood for a seal? or should i put a little sealant on the bolt?

CanUFeelMe Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 They are called T-nuts, you can purchase them at your local hardware store. Simply drill the wood out to the size needed then insert them from the backside. You will have to either beat them in with a hammer or pull them into the wood by using a bolt and washer.

fuggnore Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) okay i got that part, thanks. but are those going to get a good seal. or am i going to get air leaks of any sort? do i need to put any sealant on the t nuts once their in? Or would just drilling the holes for the bolts so the bolts are a really tight fit do the job?

fuggnore Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Posted July 26, 2010 okay thanks everybody for the input and so quickly. i got another question too. haha, so im mounting the sub box with a 4x4 that is mounted between two pillars on either side of the trunk. i was plannning on bolting the box to that from the back side of the box. i was planning on three bolts. two on either side and one on the middle. would you recomend t nuts again just a bigger size? this box is being mounted in the rear of my car rather then the trunk due to small trunk size. i have removed the rear seat, and have a peice of 1" MDF for a platform. i have pictures if that would help at all?
