Screw heads too big for rubber mounting gasket

[KilluminatiDre 10+ year member]

So I'm wanting to mount my ZV3 15s with some Spax #10 screws but the screw heads are larger than the hole for the *rubber* mounting gasket. Would I be better off:

Just screwing them in and letting the screw heads sit on top of the gasket, which doesn't let me get as deep into the wood

Folding the gasket back screwing in through the bottom of the gasket and then folding the gasket back over the top of the screw head

Remove the gasket completely

Use a step drill bit and make them bigger

I take the gaskets off every woofer I own

I wouldn't advise putting screws on top and through it to the wood. I would leave the gasket on, peel it back then install the screws. I myself have used 1/4" allenhead bolts and matching t-nuts which are far better than screws. Gives it a cleaner look too. This is how my 15's are secured.

Looks like I'll be peeling the gasket back then. Thanks everyone.
