sliding sub.... Options

[hashmaster52]

well i have my sub in the trunk/hatch and whenever im done driving, i have to pop the trunk and push the box back cuz it keeps sliding around. does anyone know how to stop it from doing that? i was thinking of drilling some bracers ( i think thats wut theyre called), but iono. thx.

Yeah I wnna know too... mine slide like crazy

There's no way i can bolt mine down cuz my subs pretty much sit on the spare tire... not only that it cant bolt againt the wall either cuz its a flimsy piece of plastic...

lol

put a peice of wood under your carpet and then bolt down your sub

[CelicaBuddy]

I dont think thatd work in my case... lol

I dont really have carpet thats the thing... All I have is a lil thorwn on peice of fabric... and under that just metal...

If I did that I would still slide around, just with subs on some wood

I mounted my box on a mdf board, and then cut the board to fit my hatch area (using the hatch carpet as template). Its snug as balls in there, so snug its hard to get out. O well harder to steal! Ill try and get some pics later

my buddy had the same problem and all he did to fix it was use heavy duty velcro. it worked great for him. so i tryed it and it worked for me as well

hmmm. mine dont move at all, they are like....stuck, lol. you could always pile up junk on the sides of them, so that they hold in place?

[Celiracer18]

you could always build a box the size of your trunk like my old one....

heres my set up, works well used a sheet of MDF then a peice of non slip mat under the box...
Im not finished yet but gives you an idea

Yeah I used a bungy cord to hold mine still. That works great and is super easy to move or take out if needed.

What I did on alot of customers cars was use velcro strips.

you could use a few strips stuck to the carpet(hook side-sharp side), that would grip the carpet on bottom of the box. then if you are still worried about your carpet moving use some on the corners of your carpet to grip onto you car's trunk/hatch

It hold vary well nor does it requre alot of work/cutting of wood, or excessive weight in your car

fasten a piece of wood that is as long as the width of the boot to the sub box, then have it at the left side/centre/right side depending where you fasten the wood.

if its braced against either side of the boot then it cant move can it?

I just hold the box up against the back seat by some safety wire and attached it to some loop back there. The only draw back is if I take a hard corner, I can hear the wire creek when the music is down way low.

i guess ill try the velcro idea b4 putting heavy wood bak there or doing any drilling. thx for the suggestions.
