move the sub and drill new holes and use screws that are at least 1" long.

go get some 1 inch drywall screws. turn the sub a bit so that you get fresh wood for the screws to bite into.

You can put a small amount of wood glue on the threads. This works a little like Locktite. Let the glue dry and it should be fine...not too much glue though. Nice looking enclosure.

that does look pretty nice...did you build that? does it fit between the wheel wells?

edit: too bad you're going to have to redrill those holes. i can't stand seeing the logos crooked.
