Velcro?

Or you can get rubber matting from camping shops which works quite well.

WOW fast reply do most just use velcro and that then if not building a false floar then?

 

[V1NNY]

not the best thing to use velcro, you can bolt it down or build a false floor

wots wrong with velcro?

 

[b3nje]

i've built a false floor for mine and got my sub sitting in the middle of where my tool kit was inside my spare wheel!

 

[dynamique_g]

What can you bolt it into exactly? what the boot bottom made of?

 

[b3nje]

metal :S maybe into the back of the seat? bad idea if u fold the seats down a fair bit heavy duty velcro will do the job!1

 

[V1NNY]

velcro wont hold the sub in a accident and last thing you want is a heavy sub flying round in the cabin

its in the boot...not as if you drive with your head in the boot so in an accident its goona squish ya!!

nice one dumb ass

you see how much a 10kg sub box weights at 30mph

will do its got a long way to travel to get to me mines in a false floor so i'm not fussed. even though i went 3months with a blanket underneath it wedging it to the back of my rear seats!!

well said Dink, the sub can burst through your rear seats and into the cabin, just wanted to let you know that

mines well and trully jammed in with all sorts of crap i didnt knew i had.

works + kills two birds with one stone

you crash and the sub will break free and travel at what ever speed the car is, until it hits something. A sub will do you alot of damage, if not secure.

Mine is now bolted to a piece of mdf, wedged in boot as a false floor, not ideal, but better than nothing.

I would also anchor to the bolts that hold the isofix bar in.

 

[dynamique_g]

good point i will now definetily be firmily be bolting it down sum how, ill have a llok in my booy how i could bolt it down.

Got a piece of 3 or 5 ply to fit the boot. Use the outline of the carpet to make a floor. Can be done in sections. Bolt the sub / amp to the wood. Ideal for removal then.

Dont forget to put a bar across the seats to stop them from splitting.

1. If your in an accident, and have cargo in the boot, this is the weak point in the rear seats.

2. Stops thiefs getting into the boot from inside the car if they dont know about the central locking button on the dash. (id disconnect, or relocate that aswell)

sub out of box drill hole through floor of boot cover up your scratched paint with paint or sealant the use a big bolt

Only real way to be safe. I ahve seen the damage a flying sub can do Its Scary Really scary

As above, mdf false floor and screw it to it or bolt it to it.

I also always leave my rear belts done up when travelling - should the rear seat catches break and the seats fold down, hopefully the belts will stop them from doing so!
