what screws

[Tosh Henderson 0]

ordered a icon/fisher combo, what the best type of screw to mount my sub in box?

One's that are not stripped.

I use T-nuts with bolts. Bought a bag of both for dirt cheap at my local Fastnall.

Not to sound too much like a noob but how would you go about using a t nut?

[ABXX49 20]

You drill a pilot hole big enough for that threaded part to slip into. You then use a hammer, pliers, or something of the sort to pull/drive those teeth into the wood. After all the T-nuts are in place you can put the sub in. Then use the supplied bolts to fasten the subwoofer into place. If you buy these from a FastNall you can get an entire bag of both for less than you can buy 5 at a Lowes.

I highly recommend these for any application where the subwoofer is down or forward/rearward firing (Any application in my case). This also makes taking the subwoofer in and out much easier as you don't have to worry about stripping the hole out while removing deck screws.

Resin, epoxy, or glue the T-nut into the wood as well.

What if my box is already made. Then what? Hard to put t nuts in correct?

It doesn't make a difference. It may be harder to put them in but it's still easy. I found the easiest way is to drill your pilot hol, put the T-nut in as far as you can ans put the bolt in with a washer in between it and the wood and tighten the bolt, put a dab of wood glue on the case of the -nut and it'll stay put pretty well.
