Re-installing sub/box... it's been a while

[wp7456 10+ year member]

I have a 15" fi Q I am putting back into my explorer, and have a few simple easy questions.

I forgot what screws I used the first time (for mounting the sub to the box)

- Can I use 6x1 5/8 coarse thread drywall screws?

and secondly, should I screw them into the same spots they were before? or different?

i picked up some #6 wood screws that look like they will fit.

but now I cant find the allen wrench to go about connecting my power/ground to my kicker zx750.1..... lol. I feel like an idiot but every allen wrench is either too big or too small, anybody know the size? I couldnt find anything in the manual.

don't trust simple wood screws for a 15" Fi. your box should be 3/4"-1" thick MDF and you should be using T-nuts and the appropriate machine screws. 10-24 or 1/4-20 - whatever will fit.

the allen wrench screws can be a PITA if you don't have complete Metric and SAE sets.
