How do you guys keep your box from flying all over the place... and don't tell me you're are driving like a grandma

 

from what i hear, your typical nut/bolt setup will do the trick

 

i fabricated brackets and screwed them into the back seat.

 

l brackets

 

I thought of that too, just wanted to make sure that is not too ghetto. Thanks!

 

haha thats something i really need to do. my box sits up against the rearseat on the left. at the end of the day the box is in the back right corner.

 

don't laugh but I use bungee cord ONLY because I take the box out often...........

 

I use velcro on all corners of the bottom of the box. No movement here.

 

LOL, i feel you.

everytime i feel my bass has been somewhat lowered, i gotta pull over and roll the sub up, since it always stays upside down after some extreme driving.

i usually have my sub facing back, and at the end of the day, it's always facing down, my left side of the sub grill got bent >.<

but i found a solution, i know have the sub facing forward, so even if it rolls the sub will face up at worst.

GHETTO!

 

it will sound better with the subs facing the trunk though...

 

for the most part, you are correct

 

Luckily, if i face the subs inside and slide it all the way up, the box fits nicely in that narrow sections. Doesnt move outta the spot. I faced them in to minimize the rattle, am i really missing out on a better sound?

 

all i did was built a box so big that it didnt have a choice but to stay still. the box inside my trunk is 12 cubic ft. so all i have room for is an extra battery, a few amps, and various other goodies. my spare tire rides propped up on the floor, leaning against my backseat and against the back of my driver's seat. you cant see it from outside the car and 98% of the time i only ride with one other person anyways. so get your spare out of the trunk and throw some spaekers in there thats why car manufacturers made trunks .

 

dam what kind of system do you have

 

12 cu ft?! pics??

 

i don't think he is serious.

Can I see some pics of what people have done? I have been searching for an option forever

 

In my previous car, I couldn't get the velcro to stick to the box or carpet, so I stuck to pieces of the hook part of the velcro together and it hooked on the box and carpet perfectly.

 

My box sits with the subs facing the spare wheel well because I need to secure it. But it you take an L bracket and either secure it to the back of the seat, the floor or the rear deck everything should be A ok.

 

I don't think velcro will stick to my Nissan Trunk Mat. I have the nice one from Nissan. Also I have a box with 2 12s and velcro will only hold it for a few minutes until I hit a bump or take a sharp turn.

 

my box doesn't go anywhere! only two tens but the amp is mounted to the box so it's super heavy

 

i'm sorry, i just got back into town from the thanksgiving holidays. yeah im serious i do have a 12 cubic ft. box in my trunk. i need to get a digital camera from my friend to take some pics. my system is:

0. 12 cubic ft. box in the trunk
1. 2 Digital Design 15's 9515 series
2. 2 Directed 1100d amps
3. 1 optima yellow top battery
4. 1 crossfire vr404 amp (mids and highs)
5. 2 audiocontrol EQT's (in trunk eq's)
6. 1 generic brand capacitor
7. orion cobalt series 6 * 9's in rear shelf
8. crossfire sq6 components in the front
9. alpine 7894 head unit
10. mmats mp5 in dash eq

item #'s 1 - 6 are all in the trunk with the 12 cubic ft. box

i think this is everything

 

^^ geez i bet that gets absurdly loud, PICS!!!!!

 

yeah its a headache sometimes, but you get all of your satisfaction back after you can see the expression on other peoples faces.

im gonna try to get my friends digital camera from him tonite and try to post some pics by tomorrow

 

ever test it on a mic?? what's it tuned to...i'm assuming its ported cuz it's so d@mn big, the most i would ever think about making my box is 4 cu ft lol

 

yeah i tested it for spl on one of the old mics at a competition a while back and pulled a 158.6 with amps turned down because the second battery that was in the trunk was unhooked, so i think i couldve done a whole lot better.

the 12 cu. ft. box is ported, with both speakers sharing the same airspace, and tuned to 45 hz and it's loud. and before the sq guys complain it doesnt sound like poo. i play down to 20 hz with this port and still sounds good, and for more sound quality i partition off the port, so it will be tuned to 30 hz for all of the other earth shaking non audible bass.

 

damn, i would be deaf in a week... Im runnin a 1000watt Rockford amp with 3 10"s

 

wait wait did you just say you play it down to 20hz with your box tuned to 45...are you nuts? 45 is no sq either. but 158 on an old mic, that'd be like still over 150 on a new termlab, that's disgusting. was your seat down? (do 4th gen rear seats even go down?) or was just that center part down..

 

yeah a little nuts lol. yeah i play down to 20hz, its not for a long time but it will still catch those notes when the port is tuned to 45hz. these subs can take a lot of abuse (believe me). no the rear seats dont fold down in 4th gens, i just took the entire rear seat off when i metered the 158.6. im still working on getting that digital camera from my friend so that i can take some pics of my setup.
