Sounds to me that your box was poorly built. Glue should be the ultimate bonding medium and not the screw...If its not something that cant be fixed with wood glue then I would recommend building a new enclosure...

If its a prefabricated box toss it in the nearest dumpster and build yourself a good one...

 

I wouldnt be so concerned with a tiny leaky spot. It is a ported enclosure after all. It isnt going to make a huge difference. If it still bugs you, build a better enclosure.

 

what type of wood did they used

 

just fill the hole with some wood filler, let it dry, and screw in ur sub.....or like other said, dont worry about it.
