HMMM, might wanna look into some "quad screws" then, cause I have NEVER had THAT problem.

Usually happens when you over tighten. You broke them when you put the sub in, especially if it was just the head. They break. Not from the woofer pressure in the enclosure, But from rushing the install.

^X2, been there,done that.

You haven't heard about the screw shortage in Cali? It's getting really hard to find ones that are 100% Made in USA.....

I use drywall screws to hold my woofers in and never had a problem.

x2.

I am not defending anyone, But i have broke sevral of these, due to my own fault. using a drill with to high of a torque setting will snap em off rather easily imho.

for sale... 2 1/2 in drywall screw, philips tip... 1 for $2 or 2 for $5

made in the USA

i have had some cheaper drywall screws that snap the heads off when putting in woofers........those were the ones i went to get late at night at wal mart lol......never had much of a problem with ones i got form menards

why not just get at least deck mates and not worry about it ..we have had dry wall screws break on burps before..

hardi backer screws are the shiattttttt! never broke 1 and they are self tapping and self countersinking! but yeah ive broke many o screws. good ones and the cheapies!

after a second test in a small sealed box i have comfimed the driver is making AWESOME BACK pressure which will cause another upgrade in the product, yes it's Pressure not the screws.

in the 1st gen i forgotten that we could not keep dust caps on now that we have no dust cap the next weak link broke after this fix there will be no more weak links, but the box used

Wow! 12 pages.
