Agree with the other two posters. The mounting scheme is non-optimal.

Well that is the last thing I wanted to hear. In the factory frames they sit pretty snugly in the MDF and have the staples holding them in face - not a ton of pressure. I'm definitely putting more pressure with the screws and washers than the factory setup.
If it's really the frames I'm not sure if there's a way to modify them easily - would likely have to be a full rebuild or stick with factory.
Just humorist me - is there a way I can tell if the amp is a problem? I'm just paranoid about having an issue when I repair/replace (with better mounting).
The factory, stapled frames apply a much more consistent (and lighter) holding force around the circumference of the transducer. Some sort of a sandwich frame is the best approach, but even that has to be very carefully implemented or transducer damage can occur.
The sandwich frames I constructed for my MMG's a few years back are a superior approach. Those speakers are still working flawlessly.
