Help with installing new subs Not too long ago I took off the sail panels expecting to find some blown factory sail panels but was met with some coaxials a previous owner installed. I ordered a pair of the CDT subs but the previous owner didn't leave any of the speed nuts or original bolts. They used self-tapping screws. I'm wondering if anybody can help me find the proper screws and speed nuts for the job. I'm aware the screws may be 7 mm but I've been having trouble finding the matching speed nuts. Thank you.

Also, the screws have 7mm heads (i.e. use a 7mm socket to turn them) but they are not 7mm screws... they're actually 4.2mm or #8 screws. Bolts and screws are labeled by their thread diameter rather than the head size. That is why you might find it hard to find the matching speed nut because it wouldn't be a 7mm nut but a 4.2mm or #8 nut (both sizes will work but #8 will be easier to find).
