Think he means that the sub is velcroed to the carpet but the carpet is moving.

Saw a piece of MDF to fit the bottom of your trunk, put on 2 L pieces and your sub wont move again

Screw it to a slab of MDF cut to fit your boot, ideally bolted to the floor, or just take the sub itself out and bolt the box to the floor.

Bearing in mind a box of tissues on the back shelf weighs as much as a housebrick as it flies towards the back of your head in a crash, do you really want what starts off as 20kg of MDF and metal doing the same?

Secure that down quick mate! Mine bent the back the seats when I had an accident.

Velcro carpet to car might work, but will need to use it in lots of places I'd imagine.

Ps. How does your sub sound in that position? I have mine sitting so the sub is facing the boot door and it sounded better to me. Just a thought to try before its well and truely stuck into place.

4 L shaped metal brackets, Bolted to the floor and the box.

Velcro won't hold s**t down in an accident!

always keep ya back seat belts fastened as extra protection

one option is to make a false floor mate, this then holds the sub securely, my brother and i made one for his saxo

i would hav it facing out towards boot but i have alot of equipment that i out in the boot
namely stilts and unicycles... and didnt want to damage the sub.

i might have to end up getting some wood in there then .. but i dont want to make the car too heavy hehe.

and i dont think ill be making holes in my sub box :S.. lol

thanks for all the ideas! i havent decided what ill do yet so keep the coming lol
