[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2444505, member: 549629"] I believe the most common screw used is a 'drywall screw'. Usually black, usually phillips head, usually a coarse thread for ripping into mat'l. Length will be determined by your specific needs, Im sure you can figure that out.

I can find screws locally that are verey similar to drywall, but more aggressive thread (with greater thread pitch and spacing) that seem to work even better. Always always always always always always always always always pre-drill into MDF. Always. There are pro's and cons to this mounting method: pro's: 1) Usually the quickest and easiest method of mounting an amp. 2) Amp is mounted to a [B]wooden[/B] rack, as it should be (deadened and electrically insulated) 3) Usually makes accessibility to the amp very easy. cons: 1) Theft. Like said above, nice little package to be carried away. 2) Vibration. This is where people usually argue back and forth.
