OP did you use a drill/driver to screw in the screws or do it by hand? part of the reason mine came out when I was a supernoob is I was screwing them in by hand

i wouldn't say that screwing them in by hand is noob factor. why? cause i hand screwed ALL my subs. why? cause i've seen how many people here slip drills into their surrounds which is more noobish. i'm quite cautious about messing up a sub so i hand screw them all in. and i've screwed down some heavy *** subs in horizontal positions. from XXX's to BTL's to my lms5400.. all 15's and i've never had any screws come loose or come out.

sometimes that is actually better for a noob so you don't strip the hole out

Using a drill to screw something down doesn't change the holding power of the screws versus screwing them in by hand. Unless of course, you dont screw them down all the way by hand.

I was a noob with my first system, not so much this one.

at least half of the screws are broken. I used a drill not a screw driver.

I guess it wasnt someone trying to steal the sub now that I think of it, just looked like it when I see half my sub hanging out.

sorry for poor grammer in orginal post, was typing from phone.

I did that once. I got a nice HE2 with duct tape covering a hole in the surround. I'm alot more careful now, but I still use a drill. Hand screwing takes forever.

My 12" Memphis M3's used to always break screws.
