That doesn't happen when you use drywall screws.

They might say "don't try this at home" but nothing about not trying it at your friend's house.

Haha! Funny thing, it was my first (and last) time screwing a sub into an MDF box with drywall screws!!!

I have had a brand new subwoofer surround wrapped around a Philips bit before!Damn right! On both of those.

The last few times, I have taken a piece of cardboard, wrapped a piece of a shop towel around it, and wedged it between the surround and screw... But I have also mainly been using allen head screws and tightening them by hand.
This issue is one of the reasons I think it is so stupid when sub mfgs have surrounds so close or nearly on top of the screw holes, with no protection (hhhhmmm, SI, hmmm)! They need to take a close look at two things that AudioFrog does SOOOOOO right with their GB design: screw holes are towards the outer edge, which leaves more wood to grab onto, and there is rubber that protects the surround.

It also doesn't happen if you pre-drill a hole to guide the screw.That doesn't happen when you use drywall screws.

Yup, looks like it gives more wiggle room for the drywall screws to get a good bite
