I am curious as to how others mounted their sub enclosures in their trunk. Right now mine is bolted the the POS plank under the carpet and i think it is having an affect on the sound. I can't bolt it to the back seats either because amps are bolted to the back of the enclosure. So how did you guys do yours, looking for ideas.

I made my own box to hold 2 10's and the amp (on the same side). It's just about an inch smaller then the bottom of the trunk. It's not bolted down, and it hasn't slid at all since I installed them in the summer. The box is heavy enough where it's hard to get it to slide. I've really whipped around some turns and I've had no box movement.

the best way i found to mount the encloser is to go to wal-mart and buy some heavy duty velcrow... its worked so far for me. i have a small 10 box and it dosent move at all plus you can still move it easily... just pull hard

i made a trunk liner out of mdf board... carpetted it, then cut it in half, one half... the back side is where i used two 2" by 2" brackets and mounted the box which had rubber feet...

doesn't move... ill put pics up sometime

Rydis

i would go with the velcro personally and the new floor creedin style if you have some woodworking skills... it can come out very very clean if you know what your doing

Before I had the custom work done I did something similar to what creedin did, but I cut the last 18" off (the very back of the trunk,) then put that section on hinges so i could get at the battery. If you put the hinges on the bottom then you can't even tell its 2 pieces.
Nothing is worse than trying to hook the battery back up while holding the sub box and trunk floor up at the same time.

If your going to put a wood floor in IMO the best way to mount the box is to take the subs out and screw it into the floor

creedin

yea i jsut messed up a bit on the carpet, but you can't even tell, just trace it on wood and cut out

that was my idea exactly, but i put a kinetik 2400 right down there which is like 2-3 inches taller after removing stock battery and stock battery securing thing, so i had to raise it... that was my idea exaclty i did about 20 inches out tho, but the weight of the box pushed it down too far to get at it... so i couldn't do that

Rydis

after putting it in...dont think ill need any special mounting. its 17' tall and had to remove the back seats to get it in, I removed the carpet and pushed it in front of the bolt from the top of the trunk, so not it can't slide anywhere because the bolt holds it in place.

lol ya i remember said bolt.... good times

creedin

well it won't fit if its 17', maybe 17" (inches?) lol, and yes that bolt doesnt hit my box, and my box is about 15.5 inches up (3/4 mdf for floor, 1/4" rubber feet and about a total of 1/4 total feet of carpet) but when i had my amp on my box, it gave it a good chip of paint and a nice sound of metal hitting metal

eh... shutup lol!

lol what. lol that bolt was deeply engraved in my old competition box. Even then and even the fact that it fucked up my second skin and pretty much glued itself to my trunk it would still move somewhat. now the bolt has been shortened so its no longer an issue

Rydis

yeah, 17" heh. When I first put it in im like...how the hell is this going to go in so I searched and found people had hard times with 15". But it went in..lets just say no one is going to be able to steal it lol...

yeah well mine is hard to steal, first of all you can't get it out of the back unless you take the subs off the box, which would be hard cuz the floor infront of the box would come out far enough to get them out, so if you go through the back seat, you have to remove the subwoofer amp, move all wires, put down the other seat, pull it out, then 45* it towards the passenger door, then have a long arm spand to carry a very awkward 100+ lb sub box...

so anyone wanna steal my sub, go ahead and copy and paste that lol
