T-Nuts yes or no?

The application is sealed and I wanted to make sure before I go ahead that t-nuts will give me a solid grip and not strip the MDF?

I use T Nuts all the time but make shure you use a good adhesive to hold them in
place...I have seen people push down to hard on the screw when taking the sub
out and push the T Nut away from the MDF..it will just spin inside the enclosure
and be a real pain in the aZZ to get out

I agree with trevor^^
-nutsare good for boxes, u dont wear holes or need turn subs. But the prob I had, was I over tightened two of them, and tey became useless. So when ya put them in bro, dont crank them as tight as possible. they can strip too. They a goodway of doing it though
