How to mount subs in a box so they can be easily removed

[2006xplorXLT]

Hi all,

I am mounting two 15s in a sealed box I've constructed. I forsee that I will need to remove the subs several times (in order to add filler, replace subs, etc, etc) and I want to somehow mount the subs so that I can repeatedly screw and unscrew them. I dont want to have to redrill new holes and rotate the sub everytime I service it. What is the best way to go about this?

Thanks!

Just screw them in like 95% of subs are....and all you have to do is unscrew.

Now that you plan for your stuff to be taken out easily, someone's gonna jack your shit.

Use anchors and machined screws...you'll never do it any other way after trying it once //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

And cover the insert nuts in JB Weld before hammering them in...they wont ever budge..

T-nuts and bolts will be the best, but just typical wood screws or drywall screws work for that unless you can't control yourself with overtightening/stripping them out of the wood

Threaded wood inserts work best IMO.

With T-Buts, they tend to not grab very well, and the teeth break/bend. Then when you try to take the bolts out, they just spin. In my experience anyways.

Brass wood screws work great.

2 subs? that's like 16 screws.. that will take 5min.. Don't even worry about it.

I think he means... he will be taking the screws out a lot, and doesnt want to strip the holes.
