Yeah, the tangs will fold up if you beat them in, especially the cheap ones. But when I pull them in with a screw, I don't have any problem, even in strong baltic birch plywood. I think adding the dab of glue helps too, because the biggest problem is having one come loose.
This process works very well for me, and it's important to have a 100% solution in my basshorn subs because a failure would cause a major repair problem, possibly even turning a $3000 cabinet into scrap. The woofers are mounted internally, and you can't really get behind the panels to access the T-Nut once it is in place. It is a long way inside the cabinet, behind panels that are buried inside.
