pick up some thread lock and put it on the screw next time you have to retighten it. i doubt your system is going to cause enough vibration to loosen up screws. also the ones that screw into plastic might've worn the holes out and are just loose - thread lock will help.

damn i should check mine to see if anything has come loose...

3000w amp with 2 1200w subs would rattle lots of screws id say!
