I Drilled a kicker solo baric into a sqaure hole...

put some power to the sub and as it increased the sub started to jump out the box....

Granted I did use 2 different types of screws because I didn't have many...but

My question is did I f**k up the box with the holes already ... Tweeter etc. told me that

the holes could be used as a pilot hole for a bigger screw...tomorrow I'll pay them to fix it...

Any advice....did I really f**k up or could it be fixed..

fixable. If all else has failed (after u try the new screws etc) get T nuts and some bolts. Those can be used with ur currently "f*cked up" holes and they will hold much better.

T-nuts online or goto home depot, they are pretty cheap there too.

yea, you can do that, get som backing for them, they make those little metal sleaves for screws, those might work, you can always fix stuf, i'd get the sleaves, and a little bit of glue, and glue the sleaves to the inside of the box, lined up with the old holes, (glue is just to hold them there untill you get the screws in, it's not for any kind of holding the subs, haha, but yea, try that, i think it'd work, i'd avoid going to bigger screws right away, atleast not to big, because if you just keep getting bigger holes eventually you wont beable to fix it... anyways, have a nice new years
