I really dislike drivers being held in with wood screws. If you ever need to remove a driver more than once, the hole is usually buggered up as it's not really made for multiple disassembly. So how does one deal with that? Tee Nuts! This is how I use them...
First you need to purchase some quality tee nuts as these are meant for a permanent installation. I will be using SHCS as my finish bolt to hold the 45 lb 18" driver in.
So you get the Tee Nuts and some basic grade 5 bolts with washers along with PL Adhesive as seen below. See where this is going?

So the little teeth on the Tee Nut are obviously meant to penetrate the substrate - MDF in this case. If you hammer them in, the teeth get bent and mangled and usually cause more harm than good and also put the Tee Nut in crooked which can lead to cross-threaded bolts. That is a nightmare!
So using those grade 5 bolts and washers you "draw" the Tee Nut up into the substrate. DO NOT tighten too tight, just enough to squeeze the extra PL out and hold it. Remember: The PL is really what is holding the Tee Nut, not those goofy teeth. I personally like to leave the bolts in for 48 hrs to make absolute certain the PL has fully cured.

Now you might be wondering what it looks like underneath? Of course, I'll show you a terrible pic!
See how it squeezed out evenly? Now you might want to touch it and remove the extra. Do not! Why? You run the risk of getting it on the bolt and not even knowing that and then when you go to remove them, you realize what happened. :slap: :bawl: :finger:
