ICK NOOOOOO

Do not use drywall screws for subs.

You'll snap the heads off in a hurry.

Either buy the green deck screws or brown floor screws.

so then its ok for them to go through to the inside of the box?

Derek Jerome 11-22-2005 09:24 PM

what are you using them for .......to screw a box together 1.5" long screws are good but if you're mounting things to the box 1" screws are good

i am mounting the sub to the box which is made of 3/4" MDF.
