T-nuts and hurricane inserts from Partexpress are excellent choices for mounting driver and feet on woofer enclosures. Especially if they are seated properly. Awesome project Zachary. My hat is off to you my friend.

Your point is taken; the reason i didn't construct that way however, was because the screw thread on the top of the leg wouldn't reach through the 3/4" MDF (and I'd have to counter sync through the tile). With the tiles each glued down firmly, I knew if anything had to be changed I wouldn't be able to remove them. I chanced it by hammering it to the surface. Regardless, the leg wouldn't have held either way...

I do recommend them for attaching drivers as you mentioned...

T-Nuts are supposed to be inserted into a through hole on the side opposite your attachment. Then the force of tightening draws them tight to the wood.

Of course, this violates the sealed integrity of a speaker enclosure so you need to plan for dealing with that. I used them for mounting large drivers in speaker projects. Later I just chose to use threaded brass inserts.
