...if you tighten them by hand? I've been reading info on speaker replacement in this forum and from other sources, and there is some very helpful advice to be found, such as using the "star" pattern when tightening the bolts to ensure even distribution of pressure around the frame.
My question relates to how much to tighten - do you tighten as snugly as you can by hand to ensure that the gasket is fully compressed, or do you leave some "play" in the gasket by not screwing the bolts in as far as you can get them in by hand.
The concern seems to be with warping the speaker frame, but from what I can tell, these frames (at least on newly manufactured speakers) are very rigid and I doubt that they can actually be warped without bearing down with alot of torque from a power drill.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
