Has anyone found a good match for the nuts to hold the speakers in the cabinets? I have found some substitutes but not an exact thread match. Thanks! BC!

Brad, they are called "keep nuts" and can be bought at any ACE hardware store. I forget exactly what size they are but they are like a 10-32, a 10-24, or 8-32, or 8-24. The 32 or 24 denotes the threads, and the 10 or 8 is the diameter of the "stud." I will look around here and find the ones I have left over and I'll let you know by email.

Oh shoot, some places refer to them as "shake proofs." They are basically nuts with a grippy washer that is actually adhered to the nut..... But at ACE hardware, they are called "keep nuts". they will be found in the screw row where all the little pull out drawers are. My hubby told me that he saw some at Home depot too....

Okay, here's the definite answer: they are 10-32 keep nuts. I paid 12 cents each for them at Ace Hardware. Oh, and remember to put a washer between them and the speaker frame. Good luck Brad.
