[QUOTE="Boley Buster, post: 7408308, member: 634723"] Now that I know I can go the self tapping route, and avoid drilling I'm not really that worried about putting it down. I'm just going to have to figure out what size screw to use. I will still predrill the board itself, I'm thinking about 1.5" would be long enough, but 1.25" or 1" might work and eliminate a large screw from sticking out under my car. I'd also think I wouldn't want the entire thing threaded, and would want a smooth portion at the back half that will be at the end. I guess it wouldn't matter too much now that I'm thinking about it. I plan on stopping by home depot after work to pick up the board and screws so I won't have to go do it tomorrow. Another thought, how difficult is removing the existing speaker wire? I hadn't really thought on that, but I'd bet its not too bad since I can just clip most of it as I go along and remove it section by section. [/QUOTE]
