So, i have had my sub in my car for quite some time now, but have yet to tie it down. This is actually a pretty big issue due to my daily commute involving a winding back-road. Needless to say, my trunk is a little beat up from the 95lb sub.
Currently the floor is constructed out of 3/4in pine and my amp box is where my spare should be. The stock carpet is over this. When my car gets back from the autobody (hopefully next week) i will be re-designing my trunk to accommodate both my component speaker amp and my new sub amp. (Alpine M1000 and Alpine F300) Design changes will include a thinner floor for weight reduction with a trellis underneath for support. The new floor will be carpeted and there will be a viewing window for the amps ect.

Does anyone have an idea on how to mount the sub up semi-fancily WITHOUT making the floor inaccessible? (the sub cant be mounted to the floor)

I was thinking about perhaps having a cutout for the sub in the floor and mounting it to the sub-floior support structure but im not 100% on the logistics there. I would rather not just "strap it" to the tie down point.

Heres a pic of my trunk for reference.

I would like to either have it mounted as it is in the pic, or perpendicular to that against the right side.

 

Velcro... The hook side down, helps to grip the carpet.

 

that little sub cant weight 95lbs O.o assssss for securing get some L brackets.

 

this might sound a little ghetto but the way i did mine was by putting a screw into the box, tieing a peice of thick string to it and tieing that other end to the tie down point. My box holds 2 12"s tho so its harder to move side to side. I keep the box from moving back and forth by reclining the seats a bit which pushes the box further back and keeps the strings tight. U could do this with yours but you would only be able to use one tie down point. if you make the string about 6 inches long this allows you to fold down your rear seats and slide the sub foreward to acess whatevers underneath it ..

sounds kinda iffy but its never given me any problems and im always able to access my spare

 

Velcro is an interesting idea, ill look into that..

Lol socal, i was exagerating a bit, its like 80 in the box but the raw weight is about 50. Its got the largest magnet structure of any 10" sub. Also a raw driver so no branding or stupid plastic on it.

I was thinking about Lbracketing it to the lower frame, but im still trying to figure out how to construct the frame so i can actually get it into the trunk. thinking 2 peices but i dont know how solid it would be.

 

goddamn that things a beast my Fi q12 only weight 31lbs, but ya L brackets should do the trick.

 

Do like we do in the 'hood.



: P

I support Woody's velcro idea.

 

I think im going to put velcro on the support structure and the bottom of the box.

Check out the magnet structure socal.
