Ok, so I am going to mount my sub in my custom box ...my question is what size screw to use (length). Is it ok for the screw to break through the front baffle? or would I want it to penetrate only half of the front baffle? Or am just being ridiculous and shouldn't worry about this?
Well, I think you shouldn't worry about it really. My screws go all the way through. You want the sub to be well secured onto your box, or it could rattle or start to jar loose.
yea i use like 1.5-2" screws on my subs...never had any problems...its alright if it breaks the front baffle, remember...predrill with a smaller bit then the screw...
yes always predrill or you will split the wood and it will chip off. also use a screw bit that has a protective sleeve, or you puncture a whole ind the surrounding.
