L brackets attached to a 1/2" piece of plywood mounted under the carpet.

i used a bungie cord and it works perfectly look at the top farthest towards the seat and there are holes there and i just put the hooks in there

yeah, I like that bungie cord idea. I thought about L screws, but didnt know if i should just drill a hole in the trunk. I also thought about getting like a 2 X 4 and just...wedging it between the Sub and the trunk. thanks for the ideas.

my dam box is allover the place too, i dont want to use the plywood because im afraid i wont be able to get to the spare

AscendantMax

you can try to hinge it, so a portion can still lift up to get to the spare.

hinge it huh...... what about half of it? like is it possible to just put plywood only on the back half of the trunk? can i drill into the metal?

slickrick

iTrader: (12)

yes..but just drill into the plywood, thats why its there.

I am not using the stock spare tire cover. I bought some particle board and cut it to fit. It is much more sturdy. With the setup I have you can easily unhook the box and lift it over the brackets to remove it. Then you can get to the particle board that covers the spare and lift it out. My brackets are mounted so that the carpet is secured to the spare cover but you could cut holes for the brackets if you thought this would be a problem. Having the particle board/plywood vs. the stock spare cover makes no difference when getting to the spare tire. Its the actual sub box that will give you trouble and it will be there no matter what is under it.

my way is perfect just go and look at what i was talking about

I also tried the bungie cord method. The problem was that I only had 2 short ones. I connected them together but the connectors happened to meet in the front of the box. One day they rode up so that they were in front of the sub and that is why I have so many nice dents in the cone.
So if you do try the bungie cord method, make sure nothing hard gets in front of the sub.

bolting the box down nice and snug increases the transfer function effect

so these l shaped screws your saying you have to buy 2 piecs of wood and put it under the carpet where do you mout the wood to the metal underneath the carpet??? wouldnt ur box be levitating then

slickrick

iTrader: (12)

they are l brackets... l shaped pieces of metal that are like $3 from walmart for a pack of 4. you screw the top part of it into the box..and the bottom into the floor where i reccomend putting plywood or some sort of 1/2" wood to screw into.

sachmo12345

just gotta find the right length of cord and you are set

sercuring it to the car makes it louder some times

AscendantMax

iTrader: (7)

how so? please explain...sounds interesting.

slickrick

iTrader: (12)

if you are trying to say by having it stable it will be louder, i guess you are referring to a sub box being sturdy and not flexing. flexing= loss in spl. however i feel with a nice box whether its tied down or not it should be fine.

I would not secure the box to the brackets - that would make for too much trouble if you have to remove it. Just sit it inside the L brackets. As for securing the piece of wood underneath, I just used the plastic pieces that keep the stock piece from moving around and put them on my new particle board piece.

you remove 2 screws???
