Securing sub with t-nuts

Ok I'm mounting a hdc310 inverted and it will be facind forward (horizontal). I'm not gonna trust scews to hold this 40+ pound sub so I'm gonna use t-nuts unless someone has a better idea. For those not using screws how are you securing your sub(s).

Hurricane nuts are FTW.

They are...until they spin in the hole and it takes a miracle to get the sub out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Hurricane nuts and t-nuts both work well, but I'd suggest epoxying or ca gluing them in carefully and try to avoid over-tightening.

The right screws will easily hold a 40 lb sub too though...try #8 1" or 1 1/4" long, deep thread pan head screws from parts express. I've yet to have one fail in 3yrs of using them.
