Lesson learned: do not use a 5/8" sub box for a Stereo Integrity SQL 12 powered at 800W RMS. Fortunately I also had a $65 3/4" box with a 1" baffle side, so it was a short evening to swap it out. This sub is amazing, 28mm of excursion and designed for small sealed box use.

You should try some kind of flanged threaded insert with socket headed cap screws and washers if they fit.

I pulled it because I was concerned that my pre-drill of the screw holes was too big, and they might have pulled out. This was true of several of the holes.

The crack in the baffle board was halfway between any of the holes, I'm guessing the problem is too much air movement for 5/8" mdf.

Favorable experience: the broken box came from hifisoundconnection.com, and I posted a 3* review of the box explaining my experience with it. I got a phone call from their customer service, sent them the picture of the broken baffle, and they issued a full refund. This is better than I expected!
