theres a platic ring around the sub and on top of tha mounting holes. I drilled the screw past the plastic and the screw is now flush with the metal rim under the mounting hole...if this makes sense.

the screw spins freely. Theres no thread in the hole. the sub is out the box btw.

I might have to just send the sub to the guy with the screws included...

dude...just stick a small 6" scale or even a thin knife...and spin the screw...

let the object pry against the screw to create the backforce...

ok dude..well I did somethin like that and got em out. I drilled the three screws back down into the box and pushed down on the sides of the holes, then screwed em out that way, the one I cut is not goin no where tho. THe head is stripped...
