Question
How do you secure your subwoofer cabinet? And please don't tell me you're using drywall screws.

Drywall screws...seriously.

Well for reinforcement I do, but I have other screws I use that I'm not going to disclose.

depends on the location of the cabinet. I've actully glued some boxes to cars. Once they're in, you have a hell of a time getting them out.

Used allen-keys on my last two boxes, will replace them with any type of security screw after I get around to finding a compatible screw.

If you mean how I attach my box to my car, I use cabling with turnuckles to tighten them. My current box fit so well I had to smash it to get it INTO my car.

Regular old screws from the inside of the box, to the chasis. Then I use a different style and size screw in each hole, torx, allen, robbie, etc. It gives it that bargan basement install look that theives hate! [img]graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]
Or maybe i just did that because it was all i had, whatever.

riv-nuts and bolts, riv-nuts are the coolest fastening method, use it for amps, amp racks, boxes, i even use them for speakers sometimes, a bit costly, but very reliable
