Kind of an Audio question, but it has more to do with the shape of our trunks.

I have a custon box I built in my maxima with 3 twelves. It weighs in at 98 lbs. This 98 pound box is slamming against the sides and back of my trunk every move. I can't seem to find a spot to hold it in place. I tried 2x4s in front of it to wedge it back. All I accomplished was a broken Bose rear speaker amp.

Anyone that has put a box in a maxima before me, how have you secured it to make sure it stays put? Thanks everyone,
Chris

 

Metal brace drilled into trunk........with self drilling screws, small, like 1/2" long.... L brackets on the brace to hold the sub box.....should work fine. My box+sub is about 60lbs and it works fine!

 

i use spray adhesive and velcro but my box is alot smaller. . . also youll prob get much better answers if you try the audio forum

 

Anyone know where in the trunk is safe to drill into? Im scared as hell Ill drill into something like the gas tank! Pictures with safe spots? Thatd be awesome...

update: I think I got it...

I took the carpet out temporarily. I cut a piece of wood (55 inches i think) and put it across the trunk, over the spare tire holder. I put the front of the box on top of this, and screwed the box into it. Then I cut 2 more pieces of wood about 13 inches. These went from the front of my trunk to the piece of wood, to prevent it from moving foreward (or backwards however you look at it ) Then to prevent it from going up and down, I cut two pieces of 2x4 to snug the top of the box to the back deck. It hasn't moved yet... knock on wood (no pun intended )

 

First of all what is the demension of your box? Could it be pushed all the way back against the seat supports?

I also installed a custom box in my ride. I made it low enough to fit under the speakers, and trunk torsion springs. Then I secured it by taking out my rear seats, and screwed it to rear seat supports with some screws in each four corners. That way no one can pull it out intill they take out the rear seats, and it make the install looks clean.

 

Yea I tried that, but my box won't go all the way back. It gets caught between the wheel wells. Good idea though man. Its hard for me to explain. I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them. I made it as small as I could, but still to specs. Fitting 3 12's in a maxima isn't the easiest thing to do
