HUGE Trunk...how do I immobilize the sub-box?

I installed subs a long ass time ago and ran into some problems with the box moving. This annoyed the living hell out of me so I just disconnected them and took it out after awhile.

What have you guys done to keep your box to stay? I plan on buying some new subs soon but I don't want to run into this again.

suprisingly mine doesn't move... there's a bunch of stuff that people have done that i've seen. they sell rubber grip sheets at hardware stores that you could use, that'll be better than using brackets cuz you won't see it, you could also use elasticbands to hold it down also but that's kinda ugly too. goodluck

I used 3 screws and a nice strip of wood moulding. You can take your pick at home depot, stain it and varnish it if you like or leave it plain. Screw them into place avoiding the spare tire. Works like a charm and is beautiful. Adds a nice touch.

Hope this helps.

I've got a bazooka tube strapped to the seatback and the rear strut bar.

as hell.....especially considering the bass tube is from the late 80's.....still sounds decent & :whocares: anyway?

goto home depot and buy some velcro. i got a 4foot long sheet of velcro, put it all along the bottom of my box and the box hasnt moved an inch since. if velcro doesnt stick to your box, either glue or staple it on. i just stapled it onto the box. cant see anything
