Hey all, I've been having a problem as of lately with my subwoofers being thrown around in the trunk. The way they are seated as of now is like this:


I can't seem to come up with anything to semi-permanently mount them to keep them from being tossed around when I make anything more than a slight turn. I would still like to be able to move the subs in/out because I have my amp located in the right toolholder. Right now I have the hook side of industrial strength velcro ALL over the bottoms of the enclosures and it seems to work well with the left enclosure, however the right one never wants to stay put after a right turn. With suspension mods in the near future, I can see this becoming an even bigger issue as the ride in the car changes.

If anyone has any other suggestions on how to keep the subwoofers from moving, I would appreciate any and all input. Let me just say, no, I am not trying to wrap a bungee cord around it and make the install look like garbage (no offense to bungee cord users ). I would also prefer not to screw brackets into the enclosures, as I have tried to do a similar idea with the brackets pushed up against the enclosure, mounted to the carpeting, that did not work since I couldn't remove the subwoofers afterwards. Again, thanks for the help guys!

 

I have a similar setup in my hatch (bought it used) and mine are secured nice and tight, have NO problems no matter how hard i make a turn. are the subs tucked in completely in the corners? like, do they go all the way to the inner quarter panel? if so, the guy i bought mine from had his screwed to that. basically, take out the sub, put one screw straight through the bottom through the metal floor and one or two on the back side. just make sure not to go too long with the screws. the only problem with this is that if you ever need to move your box to do anything, its becomes kind of a pain to take the sub out then unscrew the box everytime. thats why i went ahead and replaced all the bulbs in my tail lights with LEDS so i shouldnt have to get back there again haha. let me know if this helps.

 

velcro does not stick to the stock carpeting for some reason at all. I had the same problem. However if you make a new false floor using carpet like this:

it will stick wayy better.

I dont really have any great pics of my set up, but you can kinda see that the carpet matches well





You dont have to do a cut out for the amp or anything but I thought it looked cool. Anyway my sub doesnt move at all no matter how spirited the drive.

 

the method mackustomz recommended would probably be even more effective. That method is actually the way my box is designed to mount. However i filled those screw holes and opted to secure it only with velcro to make it easier to remove the box which is something thats important to me given how often I work on my car.
