Box sliding around in the trunk

[rshissler]

Whats a good way to kep my box from slidin around? Should i just screw it fast to the floor or would those rubber feet things stop it? or any other way to do it

you use construction foam, but you have to use aluminum foil and spray adhesive first.

you could try some velcro (sp?) on the bottom of the box so it can grip the carpet in your trunk.

i tried velcro in my buick but it didnt help very much at all the velcro doesnt grip as much to the carpet as you might think

I have the same problem. I think what I might try doing is taking out the speaker, and drilling some screws so that they go threw the wood and would "claw" into the carpet.

Ummmm then when your carpet starts sliding around, what are you gonna do when the woofer goes with the carpet?

 

I have mine secured with two L-brackets that are fastened to the RSTB

[Cam'ron]

thats what i ended up doing... my box was a custom built one that sat up on the "shelf" in the back of my buick and i just used 2 L brackets and bolted it down

Shit, you or can just have a fucking beast of a box like mine (weights 86lbs with the subs and amp :oops: ) That fucker will be guaranteed not to move

No wonder you are saying your car is slow going up hills !!

I got a 50 lb speaker, and the amp and battery are each 50 lb+/- 10 lb.

 

With everything in the trunk, it has got to be over 150 pounds! maybe 175.

 

I don't know if my 350 Ft.lbs. of torque will even move it

Well its less than having another person in the car, so that shouldnt be an issue on this hills

 

But yeah, its a beast

I actually screwed 4 hinged L brackets to the floor of my trunk and to my sub box. I made the holes on the floor a bit larger and put in Molly bolt style plugs. That allows me to unscrew the bottoms when I need to and move the box around without worrying about stripping out the holes. I also used some silicone to seal around each hole so no moisture would come up through there.

 

Just a thought.

not permanantly mounting it and allowing it to move around is good because it gives you easy access in case you need to throw the sub box at someone during a race.

Wow, that's impressive. What do you have, the MTX jackhammer?

 

My TS-W2504SPL Premiers are only like 24lbs each so I'd love to know what you're running. My amp is maybe 10lbs and box maybe 60lbs (slot port 1.5 cu. ft. X 2). Where do you get a 50lb amp or battery by the way? You might want to downgrade to what everyone else on the planet is running.

 

 

Just a little poking fun is all.

It is a JL Audio w-7 13.5" DVC sub with 3 ohms/coil

 

The coils are ran together and pull 1.5 ohms out of the 1000 w monoblock.

 

I picked up the amp the other day and the SOB was alot heavier than I remember.

 

The battery is a Bi-Mart deepcycle/RV battery.

I fastened my box to my Rear STB.....

Build/buy a box that fits your trunk?
