Re: torque tool

some speakers can respond in incredible ways when the correct torque setting is used. torque setting in inch pounds is very sensitive work and almost impossible to set by hand/touch. with foot pounds certainly there is more touch potential there but torque setting the fasteners will control resonances or tune them and alter the q of the enclosure to a degree. this is touchy work in a sophisticated speaker that is highly tuned.
if you have stipped threads in a wooden enclosure get some appropriately sized dowls from a hardware and tap them in after applying wood glue. drill a pilot after cured and you are all set. try a little hand soap on the screw tip so they do not bind up and the torque can be set easier. good luck with your repair.
