Mounting a 12 inch sub to a custom box

[Heresy 10+ year member]

I am new to the speaker box building community and have no idea what kind of screws to mount the subwoofer with. The box is already built and all I have to do is drill and mount the subs. I know t-nuts should be used but should I use metal or plastic screws? Should I use additional gaskets is the sub already has its own? It seems stupid, but can someone please help.

USE A HIGH GRADE SEALER AND GLUE IT IN AN

USE 2'' SCREWS

my box is 3/4" mdf. I used 4 1" drywall screws. First drilled a hole with my rotary tool (which happened to be smaller than the screw stem's thickness). Then just drilled it in the hole.

I hope I didn't crack anything cause I got some high-pitched screeches and stuff
