speedball1978 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 you could if you drill the holes bigger, its the only way, kinda like what meade had to do with his new SMD's when he got them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 1/4" bolts should do just fine. My only advice is to make sure that your cutouts for the subs are PERFECT. I tried using t nuts and bolts to mount my SMDs and the cutout was about 1/8" too big and the T Nuts did not have enough wood to get a good hold in the wood.

AA98hoe Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I used t-nuts and 1/4 bolts with a allen head work great. like cj said the holes have to be perfect and if you can put a lil ca glue on the edges of t-nuts to hold them in. I had problems of them dropping in the box if the bolt doesnt line up just right it will push it in the box. pain in the ass if its you last sub and cant get to it Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.
