[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8802044, member: 591582"] I’ve installed a lot of brand new subs before. Like we’d build boxes and install the new sub into the box, and then install the box and tune the amps and what not. Most subs we just installed with wood screws, being not super high power. I’ve always just used the wood screw to slowly punch a hole where it seems like it’s just the surround rubber that doesn’t have any holes in it, and I never remember having any problem. Idk if that’s the way you’re supposed to do it, but I’ve probably done this and seen this done dozens upon dozens of times. I actually had a Fi Q 15 I spec’d out as my first sub and did this with, iirc. I usually just don’t worry about it and drill right through it while attaching it to the box. I’d be more worried about the drill hitting the surround curve next to the cone, personally. That’s where a hole would definitely cause a problem 👀 That surround glue should very strong. The surround fabric or rubber or whatever should be glued everywhere around that hole, so only the part over the hole on the frame should move or change at all. You could always take a punch or nail or drill bit or something to make a starter hole in those. I’ve had to do that before to line up a sub’s basket with the holes already in a box, for example. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
