Post by oregon200sx »

My box keeps moving around in the trunk of my car, I need help finding a way to keep it in place.

Get some (2) L brackets from your local hardware store or lumber yard and some screws. Attach the L brackets to either side of the box and to the trunk floor. If you dont have enough space on either side, then put them on the front. Thats what i did in my S-15 Jimmy and it works just dandy.

that would be the best idea. Also acts as a security feature to prevent a thief from just ripping the whole box out.

agreed. even more, it will help prevent the box from acting as a projectile in the event of an accident. Could be catastophic.
Particularly in the case of little ones.

i know it wouldn't prevent theft, but what about sticking on some velcro to the bottom of the box. Do you think that would be enough to hold it in place, and would it work with automotive carpeting already on the trunk floor??

Doubt it would work. Subs and enclosures weigh a lot, thus have a lot of force. Don't think velcro would work so well.

tight...i was just trying to think of something that wouldn't involve drilling holes or anything permanent like that. Ill see if my company has any industrial strenght stuff at our tool shop. If not ill still try some normal stuff and see how it goes.
