keeping speakers in a box

[Suicidal Racing]

alright..i installed my home boys speakers today and they wont stay in the box..so fair both of them have jumped out the box..i've switched the screws and made sure i aint over tighting them and all so my ? is is there any thing i can use or any tricks where they wont come out..i aint even got the amp up up but the shit just slams still..the first time i turned the amp up some and one hooped out

the second time was just now when we had to cut it off because of cops then we turned it back on and it hooped out and it was a the other one.


i got to dynamate the trunk later on so i have to work on it no matter what.

Sounds like you are either using too small of screws, the wood has bene used enough times to ensure the holes are crap, or you arent even making contact with wood. Take out the subs, put down some gasket material, and then rotate the speaker about 5 degrees and try again. This is if the holes are fubared.

its a new box and i've already switched screws once..but ill get some gasket shit and try that.

Fresh holes and 1.5" dry wall screws. If they don't stay in, you're doing somehting seriously wrong.

Are the speakers tight in the holes? If the holes are cut too big, the screws will have less material to grab into. Even 1/8 of an inch too big can give you problems.

Thats...wierd. Drywall screws and making sure you're puting them into the box (which hopefully is MDF or something) and I don't really see how a speaker can 'hop out'....

you SHOULD NOT use PLYWOOD!!... you NEED TO USE... 3/4" MDF they sell sheet at lowes or home depot... for like 30 or 40 dollars.. you need to build a box wit that kindof wood if not that might be the problem that the subs are jumping out of the box.


That what i build my boxes out of.. but i dont have the tools anymore so i cant build boxes.. or else i would build a box for ya..

Actually there is some plywood that is stronger than 3/4 MDF....birch plywood I believe? Anyways MDF is pretty much the best IMO no splinters n real smooth....$20 for a 8x4 sheet.

check the screw thread it may be a fine thread screw. If it is that may be the problem. I would go with a coarse screw.
