Howe big is "not big at all"? You can silicone it with clear silicone. It should be alright.

Never EVER use a drill if you dont have the experience. Always pre-drill and get the screw started with a screwdriver. A little late for the free advice but now you know for next time.

Mainly just hurt resale value , but if it's a big hole it can lead to a bigger hole in the surround . What's the surround made of rubber or foam ? I like to use shoe goo myself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

good advice. yea, if you can get to the backside, it will be much better. then wipe it clean on the front of the surround.

In the future a good rule to follow is never use a power tool near something that can easily be damaged.

The few minutes you save arent worth the risk.
