I use T-nuts and bolts, be sure to glue them into position though or they will come out.

hey duran, u ever had any problems with t-nuts for sub mounting before?

Someone told me long time ago that they preferred hurricane over Ts because the T-nuts would want to bite too close to the edge of the cutout hole where hurricane nuts bite only on the shaft.

I had this happen on my current box and it was irritating. Looking to try the Hurricane nuts on my next box build.

not to say you guys are crazy because i LOVE me some overkill, hehe, but what makes you guys think u need to use bolts?

I've used standard wood screws on subs up to 50lbs on a flat walled type baffle before and never had a problem.

bolts are good for not messing up the wood on the box when removing the sub and putting it back.

I use threaded inserts. T-nuts blow goats IMO. I'd never use wood screws.

[porkchop 304]

is the threaded inserts similar to the hurricanes mentioned, where is these sold or some info to read up on them? thanks

what kind do you use ? I've tried the wood-inserts but for some reason all the want is to chew up my mdf, going straight into that hole doesnt seem to be a possibility for those damn things , I've thought about using finethreaded inserts for steel and glueing them with locktite into place , haven't tried it though .

for now I use T-nuts , I always glue them onto te mdf to prevent any problems

and another thing, the threading of those things is awefull I always check if its any good before using ...it may be the quality of steel that is to soft .they're still better than woodscrews

I've only tried threaded inserts in a fiberglass tailgate and they worked perfect. BASSmaster, 'suki' has some nice threaded inserts.

[REVpuggie 23]

I tried googling Suki , all I got were pics my wife doesnt approve of !

maybe a link ?

I drew something up that would work even better , going to have that made to spec by one of my friends and see how that works out
