    Dayton RS drivers. Screws or bolts?

    I have just a couple of small things to get before I start my build.What size are generally used for the Dayton RS28A, RS150 and RS225?

    Just looking at them I would think:

    RS28A - #8 Panhead screw
    RS150 - #8 Panhead screw
    RS225 - #10 bolt/t-nut

    What have you used in the past? Where have you bought nice looking black hardware?

    Thanks!
    Jim

      I use black anodized panhead screws in those sizes, but I also am not taking the drivers out much once installed. Machine screws have great advantages, but watch out for t-nuts coming loose; then you can't get the driver out without damaging the box. I'd much prefer to fill a worn screw hole...

      Have fun,

          Drywall screws work well for driver mounting, especially the smaller ones.

              I've never considered drywall screws. I'll have to take a look! Thanks Jon.

              Frank, I know what you mean about a loose t-nut. I had one spin on me with my subwoofer.

                      Thanks Ray! That's exactly what I was looking for.

                      My search skills suck. I spent quite a while this morning looking for something like that and came up with nothing.

                          and love them. With the allen head there's also no chance of a screw driver slipping out of the screw head and smashing into the drivers cone!

                              Yes, I used those screws above, they are solid, and when driven in to LBL they are incredibly secure!
