maybe you could build like a little lip in your car. Like run a piece of wood, or metal or something across the length of your trunk, and screw that into the trunk and then your subs will rest firmly up against that and not move, but you can still take them out because the subs arent mounted.

 

I just cut out a sheet of MDF (cheap at Home Depot) to my trunk. Put the carpet over it, and you can use angle brackets to secure the sub in place. You don't have to screw the brackets into the sub box, just have one on each side.

 

bungee cords...it's keeping my big **** box in place. kind of a cheap fix but it works.

 

I used L brackets and sheetmetal screws. Doesn't move at all. I have 2 Diamond Audio TDX 12" in a 4.&&cf ported enclosure. Very heavy. I am however going to replace the stock floor mat and use 3/4" MDF cut to fit so I don't tear up the undercarrage with the screws. Either way depending on budget and how deep you want to go into the project.

 

That's a great idea! I'm definetely going that route.

 

email me and ill show you some pics of how i got my box tied up! its pretty simple i think i have the bungee cords. i got two 12s.

 

Same here:

 

^^^Looks good. Are your amps hiding?

 

what happen to that poor sub? looks like it was hitting something while moving.

 

If you look closely you can see my amp to the left of the box mounted on the back of the back seat. The dents on my sub came from a bungy cord that rode up when the sub was on. I didn't have one long enough so I had two of them together and they connected right at the front of the box. When they rode up the sub hit the two hooks. It still sounds good so I don't worry about it.

 

Did you have to cut the MDF in two pieces to get it into the trunk? I love that idea, I'm gonna do it next.

 

Nope - it fits easily as one piece. Just use the old cardboard piece as a template. Its real easy to remove the box too as you can just lift it off the brackets.

 

any more ideas.. not really feelin any of these. i really don't want to drill my box

 

There's this rubber lining thing that's pretty grippy. I just can't remember the name of it. It came with when I bought my TV so it wouldn't slide off if anyone decided to try to move it or something.

 

Last weekend I made a "false floor" in my trunk and lined it with carpet. Now There is virtually no rattles in my trunk (except my trunk lid from the bass) and my box doesn't move an inch even in hard cornering. The carpet on carpet approach works well, no sliding at all.

 

Has anyone her used velcro?
That was the route i was interested in, im sure it would be strong enough, just wondering how the adhesive would hold on the carpet?

 

velcroing to the carpet does nothing, itll just push the carpet around with the box. just bolt that biatch down. or get a trunk monkey.

 

i tied mine with bungee cords

 

i put a thin piece of wood in my trunk and screwed the box down to that.

 

You could duct tape it to something. Or if you want put in a wall and drill some holes through the wall and a little into the box to hold it.

 

anyone got pictures of the bungee cord thing

 

so this is what i came up with....




its just a piece of particle board. i have 2 screws on either side of the brace in the back of the car. i just drilled them into the board covering the spare. it seems to work pretty well and looks better than a plain wood brace

 

haha nice, isnt there a thing called carpet glue or something? I saw it at home depot once, suppose to stick carpet to carpet, anyhow, if I were to use a false floor I would have two piece, the further piece having a inch high wood going all the way across securing the box and the front piece so you can access your spare tire
