[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8676433, member: 665412"] Don't overthink it. Just use appropriately sized wood screws for mounting the sub and if you have any issues in the future you can add epoxy to the holes or add a second baffle (or build a new box, it'll be years before the wood is too worn to be used again). For wiring, I've always just drilled a small hole near the back of the box and pushed the wires through. You can seal it up with caulk, epoxy, etc if you want but provided it's not a massive leak it won't make a bit of difference. I'm metering over 153 with 2 15's and blocking that tiny hole made no difference. Simply using a bolt for each wire and attaching terminals on either side of the box works well too but you end up with a live connection. When you start using amps that put out wall voltage AC and more it becomes a little sketchy. The cheap plastic terminal cups will increase in resistance over time, either avoid them or get the expensive ones (not worth the money). [/QUOTE]
