Need help with a single subwoofer and 2 amps!!!!

How did you secure the box, so it doesnt slide around? I have a single 10inch, and I'm just looking for a good way to secure the box, without it looking like ****.

I also have two amps, one of them I just attached it to the back of the sub box, and I dont know where to put the other one. I need some ideas...


Thanks


also... happy halloween!

You can mount the amps on the metal sheet behind your rear sheets. As for securing the box, you should do like maximamaybe said and buy some L brackets from Home Depot (about a buck or 2). You may want to line the bottom of your trunk with a floorboard before doing that.

i never had problems with my sub box moving around in my trunk. i guess it depends on the shape of the box itself.

The sheet behind my rear seat is made of plastic, amp cant go there

As for the box, I will try the L brackets

One word...
Fiberglass

You know you want it. And your car will smell like "custom" for a few weeks afterwards.

Yeah, it's a lot of work, he's seen all the stuff I've been doing over the past year, LOL. I'm just giving him a hard time. Steve and I will figure out something to do I hope.

For my box, I first lined my trunk with a board, to make the surface flat, then I bought some velcro from home depot and put it on the bottom side of my box. I didn't put any on the floor, the velcro on the box grips good enough, and my box has never slid around. My amp is also mounted on the back of my seats.
