I think I used drywall screws. They worked for me.

T-Nuts or hurricane nuts work great because you can remove the speakers many times and never worry about stripping the wood. MDF is terrible for holding screws.

Hell when it strips just twist the sub a bit and start over //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

if you use t nuts glue them in mdf plywood they stay put better.

And if you are thinking of using screws to put the box together, don't. Wood glue and clamps are plenty strong, and screwing into the edge of MDF is a bad idea. If you don't have many clamps brad nails works fine.
