hold my subbox down - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #32457 6 posts Started by devilsden97
I have an 10" Alpine type E, with a 700w amp in my trunk. I have a 1995 liftback Gt. The subwoofer and box bounce around alot, and move all over the place. The amp is screwed down through the carpet into the metal in the trunk (best buy install) I can still get to my spare..(with some comedic movment of trunk items) Im looking for a way to attach down my sub box so that it stops bouncing around my trunk. I dont wanna take out the spare, and put a piece of wood in, or nething like that. I dont have runflats, and i dont plan on getting them, so i need to be able to access my spare. I've searched, and the only thing others have done is take out the spare and put in a wood floor, then attach the box to it with right angle braces...i would do that, but again, i wanna be able to get to my spare. (if the spares not in the car it doesnt help, and if i cant get under the sub/plywood i cant get to the spare)

So..?Any ideas? things people have already done? Pics?

Thanks

I did too, till it came off lol, the sticky part to the velcro, like the gluey adhesive side got unsticky, plus my carpet in my trunk was being moved that way. WHen the sub would slide it would take the whole carpet.

buy/make an L braket out of aluminum and screw it down into the metal in front of the sub or into the cardboard of the spare cover that should hold it pretty good. or have 2 corner L brakets then it wont budge at all that's what i plan to do for my box

i used to use those strong plastic ropes. hooked one end to the metal "U"s the back seats attach to and around the sub box to the other "U". pretty ghetto but it worked, plus i didnt drill anything.

now nothing holds it in the trunk. theres just no room for it to go cuz of the air tank setup. hahaha
