You must have missed the part about using sticky rubber sealing compound. And maybe you missed the link DYohn provided with a picture and description of it. And mounting tape, or foam gasket, isn't there to stick anything in place; it's there to seal the woofer. Keep in mind, your thread here is all about trying to keep you from jamming screwdrivers through the surround....Have you ever needed to make a gasket? Maybe a sticky gasket? You can pick up a tube of adhesive sealant in any hardware store or even WalMart. RTV, gasket maker, whatever, it can go by different names. You need to get out of the house and go look.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I guarantee you Home Depot and Lowes both carry what you need. Look in the Hardware dept. for T-nuts, in the Paint dept. (probably) for gasket material and/or caulk. Better yet, try a local small hardware store, like a True Value or Orchard Supply. The folks who work in those places are usually pretty helpful and know what they're talking about.
