ok while ive had my golf clubs out of the car everynow and then. that damn sub box which was nicely built (not by me) keeps sliding to the back and making me pissed about so i have decided to buy some brackets and drill them into the cardboard that holds the spare down. I was hoping someone could tell me what kind of brackets to use , best to use for holding 2 12" in a box against the back seats, other possible solutions. this is getting annoying and i want to get on this project asap. Also do anyone know if the back of their back seats are also made out of hard cardboard and kinda just hanging off like mine are frown.gif it looks tacky and wanted to see if there was anyway to fix those as well?

I think I have posted this already some where but ooohhh well!

I hadnt heard of 6gc.net when I first got my subs...so I had to kind of invent my own way to keep them down cause I didnt know about the bracket method. I used about 6 pieces (3" x 2") of velcro on the bottom of the box....& positioned it where I wanted it on the carpet. The sticky sides of the velcro didnt stick very well sooo I sprayed them w/ 3M adhesive spray....which worked GREAT.

There was one more thing I had to fix though.....The sub enclosure stuck so well that it started to slide around WITH the carpet attached to it haha. NO WORRIES though that only took 2 seconds to fix! All I had to do to keep the carpet in place was slap a couple of those BIG safety pins in the upper left & right corners of the carpet (right in crack where the back of the seats & floor meet up) You cant see them & they hold the carpet in place beautifully.

ANYWAY I like to take my corners sharp when I drive & I have coilovers (which you know makes the ride very bumpy)......& my subs wont move no matter what I do now. SO make fun of it if you want but I stand by my cheap white trash method Lol.....

Ya know that carpet backing on the back of your seats? Look where it is fastened to the trunk (it should be done by a plastic 'button like' thing attached to the trunk flooring. I cut slits in my carpeting and buttoned the plastic things through the slits in the carpet. It looks like it was meant to be there and I've never had a problem with it. If you want me to take a picture of it, I'd be glad to do it for ya.

My box is jammed between the arches behind the seats in my coupe, so it takes a lot of work for me to even move it out.

What we did last weekend with Natalie's car was we fabricated two straps out of aluminum, and then screwed them to the underside of the sub box. We then drilled a couple holes in the trunk floor and bolted the two straps to the floor of the trunk. It's really solid, and isn't going to go anywhere.

With my next system, I'm going to bolt the enclosure into the floor from inside of the enclosure, and then put the sub in after the enclosure is bolted in. smile.gif
