With hurricane nuts, I have had to re tighten my screws two times.

    Did you replace the original gaskets with Armacell?

    No, the originals were in good shape.

    Then you shouldn't have to tighten the screws.

    That's what I was thinking. Just don't want to over torque. I have a tendency to do that! Thanks.

    Did you glue the hurricane nuts as well? Are you sure they were drawn in all the way initially? I have heard people having issues if they didn't get them seated enough. I had to make a washer set to distribute the load and really tighten it to draw the hurricane nuts all the way in. I saw someone had to do that on another thread. The speaker basket will deform if you use that to draw them in or over tighten.

    Yes, I glued and seeded them with a screw/washer combination. Thanks for the input.

    I would mark them, and see if they are turning, try some blue or lesser thread locker, or try some screws with a nylon or thread locker patch.

    Thanks, if I have any more problems I will give one of those options a try.

    I checked them this morning after a long night of playing and they are tight. It is ironic that when they were loose, they were all loose. I am thinking I did not have them tightened down enough.
