When loading the driver to the 1850 is what is the best method?
I heard t nuts and bolts were the best but how would bolts work? as you would need to take the top of the cab to gain access to the other side of the driver to hold the bolts while you screw them in.

basic question but i wanted to hear from people that have loaded the befor how they done theres thanks.

m8 tnuts for the 1850 and id use them instead of bolts.. its easier to tip the cab upside down when loading so you dont have the weight of the driver against you

yes as hmaudio has said (turn cab upside down) you got to use t-nut and bolts is the only way to go, what i do is i use the metal speaker/grill clamp upside down so it spread's the force/load over the metal clamp so the bolt doenst damage the mounting front baffle board and i use not the bolt itself only for final finish,  i use the same size thread bolt just in case you slip and damage the head of the bolt..and i drive then all the way so the claws are tottaly flat unside of baffle board with a nice big handled screw driver for better leverage.... hope i make sense

yes t-nut and bolt all of the mounting holes, all i meant by bolt final finish is i just use a old bolt the mount the claws b;cus after you have done all 12 claws theres ware n tare on the bolt itself , so i like use all new bolts so its looks nice n tidy..Smile
