I am working on my first ever cab using Saint's book and having a great time!! I am to the point of trying to figure out how to install the computer speakers that I just bought. In the book, Saint uses Klipsh speakers but I bought some Logitech Z3 speakers instead. The Klipsh ones have screws on the front of the speakers while the Logitech ones do not. Saint removed the installed screws and used longer screws to go through the speaker shelf and fasten the speakers that way. What other ways are there that people have used to mount speakers that do not have screws on the front of them?

I guess I should have explained the way the Saint mounted the speakers in the Project Arcade book. He cut holes in the speaker shelf between the marque holder and the plexiglass covering the monitor. The speakers that he used had screws in the front that he removed and using longer screws fastened the speakers so that they point down toward the CP.
I am looking to do something similar but the speakers that I have do not have screws in the front so I cannot fasten them the same way Saint did. I was just wondering how other people are fastening their speakers when they have them face down on the speaker shelf like this.

I wasnt being sarcastic or anything in my reply at all, if thats what u got out of it, Thats what I was planning on doing, inside of where the marquee is just make some little shelf/cage out of wood for the speakers so they can just sit inside there and not move. They wouldnt be screwed down or anything. Then just cut holes under the marquee and cover them with speaker grills.

Well, actually that's one letter and one word, but what's one letter between friends. ;D

Yup, screw 'em right into the speakers, works great.
