i put together the platform for the trunk today. 3 pieces joined together with piano hinges. it fits perfect. and put the sub in place. the black carpet comes in wednesday. the entire trunk will be covered with the carpet. i am going to spray foam in the body cracks, before applying the carpet. the trunkmount battery kit should be here tuesday or wednesday. ttyl.

 

Do you have a schematic or something you can post for the platform you made? I have a big problem as far as my sub sliding all over my trunk and moving my carpet all over the place. Everytime I get out of my car I have to push my sub back into place and straighten out the carpet -- it getting to be really annoying.

Any help is appreciated, I need ideas.

 

yah, id love to know your measurements/sketches/schematics as well. It'd make a huge diff as to whether or not I rip out the stock trunk.. (probably am)..

TIA

 

lets see some pics...

 

but what is it that you are doing...putting in a false floor or attaching a sub to the trunk lid? sorry i don't quite follow....no need to flame me on this one guys

 

i use velcro for my box. two long strips across the bottom of my sub. i dont have problems with my box sliding around.

 

i dont think velcro is going to hold mine... fast acceleration and turns would rip it right off... i have it in front of a trunk cargo net, tied to the trunk bars, and looped around the front and back up.... stays in place pretty well, just cant get it out too easily, and looks a littly shady...

 

Tried velco, but yeah, like JeepRage said, it didnt work and actually made it worse for me. I never had this problem when I had 2 subs since the box would brace against the sides of the trunk. Im still trying to figure it out with the help of other members, but I think the best thing to do is somehow trace the trunk carpet onto a large piece of plywood and then modify away. The sub gets either bolted into the plywood or a cut is made in the plywood so the sub sits in a depression or groove. It's simple in principle but hard to actually accomplish. Im going to try something this week.
