Subwoofer screw broke in half

[Based]

Yesterday I heard a noise coming from my subs that resembled a sub hitting against the box so I checked the screws on all the subs and they were a little loose so I re tightened them but one of the screws is broken in half. How do I get the piece that is stuck in the wood out??? Lmao.

take the sub out, reach in and reverse hammer that sh*t out. Then do everything again with T-Nuts

Or possibly an easy out?

.455 pounds of C4 and a .255grain blasting cap. I assume you will achieve 180dB at 1 yard. Looking at about 150,000 watts

Brings up another issue. **** SCREWS ARE SOO CHEAPLY MADE NOWADAYS! No more pure steel or iron screws, all composites with lots of fillers.

What kind of screw? I had cheap screws in my SA-12s and one did just that. I just left it in there and used 7/8 screw holes. I also switched to quality drywall screws, which is what I wanted to do from the beginning but cheaped out, and haven't had any issues since.

I can't remember the actual brand or size because I'm not home but they're coarse thread drywall screws

And the screws don't go all the way through the box so I can't get to it with a hammer. I'm thinking tweezers...

Sledgehammer. I truly think my ideas are perfect fixes.

Drill it out with a big bit fill the hole with epoxy sand it smooth and start over

This^^^ If you can get a hold of Grabber drywall screws, use those. They are very strong and I've never had one break.
