Screws in wood or composite speaker cabinets will not hold a constant torque value as will machined threads into a threaded metal hole or a threaded nut. You have to be extremely careful when tightening screws into wood or composite materials. Snug is usually where you want to be, but not wrenched down to a higher torqued value like you would a threaded bolt. In addition, tightening screws should be done back and forth across the speaker frame from one side to the other rather than one screw to the next around the speaker frame. In this manner an even pressure is applied to the speaker frame as it is pressed to the cabinet mounting hole.
