Mounting Eminence Driver
type: item
description: What size of T-nuts should I use for mounting the Eminence Delta 12LF driver for 3Pi? The ones that I get in my local hardware store are M4/M5 4 prong and are too wide. Any other options? Wayne, do you have any suitable T-nuts and screw that I can buy from you and get them ship together with the kit? Many thanks.

description: When I use T-Nuts, I usually use 10-32 size with button head or hex head screws. But for the H290 compression horn and for the woofers on one π, two π and three π speakers, I like to use these fasteners: Black pan screws for mounting small drivers T-Nuts are good when post-construction serviceability is a concern, like for prosound speakers. But if you won't be going inside your speakers a lot, these screws are fine. They look good and will hold until about 20 loosening/tightening cycles, when the wood will stretch enough to tear through. <br(.*)

description: Thanks Wayne. Could you please check the link as it seems to be broken. 20 cycles should be enough for me. Do you use brass/steel inserts at all? Do I need any add any sealing between the driver and the baffle? Or is the gasket that come with the Delta 12 good enough? Thanks alot.

description: Perhaps IDXmart has gone out of business. Here are some from Parts Express: #6 x 3/4" Deep Thread Pan Head Screws, Black Finish #8 x 3/4" Deep Thread Pan Head Screws, Black Finish If you use a good quality wood, no inserts will be needed. The gasket on the driver is fine, so I never apply any gook.
