Recommended fastners for the 18" N3?

I guess i went extreme on my wall then.

I usd the Lowes Premium grade wood screws that come with their own Torx bit.

I use them on about 4-5 of the 8 mounting holes on the subs.

The last holes remaining, i epoxied steel flat on the inside and outside of the baffle cut just right.

It is then drilled, tapped then the wood drilled out.

The same type of bolts 95honda suggested are then used to drive through the sub, wood and steel and secured. I then overtighten them with a nut on the back of every bolt, but be very careful.

This technique can snap the wood so do not overtighten too much. You will hear the wood starting to crack when it's time to stop tightening.

Are these them?

Random question about mounting .... is it okay if your screw goes through the wood ? For example.... double baffle of 3/4" MDF .... and you use a 2" wood screw, does that lessen the tightness of the mount?

As long as you don't strip the screw while tightening it down.

 

 

So like even if it was 3" screws on a 1.5" baffle it wouldn't matter as long as I don't A) over tighten B) don't strip screw .... would I still be better off pre-drilling if I used a self-drilling screw?

Those arent the screws.

 

The screws i'm talking about are stainless steel.

 

And they are only threaded about 50-70% so make sure the threading still stays in the wood.
