mounting the subbox

[bhouse1587]

where have you guys mounted the sub box.. i have 2 amps and 2 subs and my box slides around all the time im scared to drill L brackets into the floor of the trunk (obviously making sure its not the spare tire im drilling into) any suggestions would help :)

This is something I thought about the other day that I will do during the weekend to solve that problem (hopefully you have a hatchback):

Take ''L'' shaped brackets and use those to attach the sub box to the child restraint brackets. I don't use them since I have no kids (yet).

I underestimated the amount of pressure that gets created back there when I used L brackets so I took it all off and got myslef some wood (pine) a little more expensive but strong and lightweight, built a frame real tight around the box and now it's not moving at all ... looks like overkill but does a real good job. I could potentially post a pic but if you search on the site you'll find someone else's picture of their frame, I saw it not too long ago.

mine is strapped to the back child restraint my sub box and subs weight 75kg, and they dont move one bit

2nd that, i'm using bungee cords that tie into the hooks in the trunk/back seat

I actually just used stick on velcro on the bottom of the box and it clings itself right to the carpeting. That sucker does'nt go anywhere w/o a good pull.

velcro is an AWESOME idea..
i use the L-brackets..

i just pushed the subs back as far as they could go so they wedged an l bracket in as close as i could and drove it into the carpet.
-click on my garage link in my sig for a pic-

they are ugly but they do NOT move at all, and they are not screwed into the subs.. just the carpet -there just wedged in so well they dont spin or really even move

im going to get black carpet or vinyl and i was going to just paint them black.. but now i might just buy some big velcro strips.. awesome idea :D

Thats EXACTLY what I did, and I have had no trouble at all, drivin it hard. Even the auto-x track officials said it was good enough to take on the track like it is.
