Anyone got any recommendations for good screws for screwing the subs down

[hdrox88 142]

I used drywall screws on my zcon when mounted on the top of the box with no problems. Threaded inserts and machine screws would be more secure for your mounting orientation.

Good job, hang in there.

For my box and installing my subs I used spax screws. I believe they have a zinc coating on them making them gold. They have their own bit would use basically a Torx bit with a circle in the center of it. The reason we use those on my box because I believe there are grade 5? Which means you can't break them from bending them sideways not just pulling on them straight out. I like them because of the special bit nobody can just hop in there and unscrew my subs and take them out. They're strong as hell and they look good.

I like the Allied Bolt hex combo type head, it allows for a nut or a Phillips driver. It makes for easy work to drive them in with a power tool. I use the 2" screws #14 or 10.

Had my first "bailout" today in my van . . I didnt think it was that loud lol

You've made a few different enclosures for zcon that I've noticed in the past. Do you think they do well in 4th orders? I know some subs are not made for four quarters and I'm not sure if these are or not I was just curious
