Blimey Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I think there cald self tapping screws or sommit like that (I may be completely wrong ), they were supposed to come with my 6x9's but i got em from a catalogue returns place, so they were missing along with cable etc. I just used nut and bolt in the end. They nice and tight in the corners either side of parcel shelf, aint not theiving gettin them out in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escort si Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 I used the bolts and screw/washers. Very happy now! The speakers are well put on this time and wont becoming of very quickly! The way i like em. I have a question tho, see how when my speakers where sitting on my parcel shelf and they werent really tightened in does it make a deference in sound quality now that they are tightly fitted?
