Hi,
I just received 5 Aura Bass Pros and would like to know the best way to secure them to the riser. My fear is just using screws might come loose after a while. Please let me know you experiences. Thank you.
Also, if you have diagrams of your wiring, please let me know also. Thanks.

I used bolt/nut with loctite.

I think that even with bolt and loctite (which was my first thought), that if bolted to wood, that the wood will eventually compress and the shaker will still come loose. Shakers are in my future, and I plan on bolts with fender washers on both ends next to the wood and an additional lock washer on the nut end between the nut and washer.
I used dry wall screws to mount mine; still nice and tight after 8+ years.....

Interesting. I assume those are the original AURA and not the AURA Pros. Nevertheless, I am very surprised drywall screws was the only thing used. I will be placing mine in the riser which will then be sealed so I don't want to it come loose after the liquidnails, screws, carpet and top plyboard are on.

Don't do like some do (:eek:) and use a lag screw, then crank 'em so tight you break off the mounting tabs! My tech from Guitammer says he uses #6 drywall screws with even the big B/K's with no probs. Make sense-remember these things vibrate "up and down" NOT "side to side".....
Best,
