I am planning on making a custom fiberglass sub box but I was wondering how everybody attached their boxes to their trunks. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

i;ve wanted to take the factory sub idea, pull it out, make 2 subs, one on each side, custom. i think thats how im gonna do it, it would save a lot of space that way

 

mine just sit...the bix is big enough/heavy enough to not move

 

lol until you get in a wreck and that **** comes flying at your back at 60mph... oh and rips out the wires causing all kinds of sparks and electical arcs and ****... im going to bolt my **** down for a reason

 

And how are you planning to attach it

 

you could bolt it down from inside of the box and have a removable front incase you have to take it out

 

lol i havent got that far yet since i dont have a set plan for the subs/amp rack (only had the car for a month so still doing ideas) anyway it all depends on the box to be honest... if its a tight fit you can bolt from the top and do something on the bottom (need to look at my trunk again to check on that) but i would use lag bolts if possible on L brakets.just always check if anythings in the way before you start bolting it down

 

Do you think attaching it to the piece of wood or whatever it is that covers the spare tire would hold it securely enough because I would still like to be able to access the spare and the battery.

 

ya that would work... just use bolts rather then wood screws

 

Yeah I was planning on probbably using 3 or 4 bolts and just drilling the holes down through where the subs will be mounted so that you wont see the bolts and you'll just have to pull out the speakers if you ever need to unbolt it.

 

bad idea, that cancels each other out opposing subs setup like that in that great of a distance would just hurt more.

 

sounds good i was going to suggest that but there are many good wasy to bolt the box down so i decided not to

 

ACTUALLY i wouldnt use any bolts or screws. I dont believe in screwing in any other holes than the ones needed to seal the subs.

Have you tried velcro?? Like industrial velcro. Trust me...Few pieces of that it aint moving

 

I use a holder thing from semi battery boxes on most of my sub boxes. They can be unhooked in a few seconds to alow you to get to the spair and battery and hold the box in place vary well.

Later

 

If you are going to put holes in your box I would cover each with silicon or liquid nail after. Or, Bondoing the whole bottom of the box after the screws are in would work the best. This doesn't add to ease of removal though so it would have to be in a place you like it and never want to move it.

 

you can glass it up but leave a good portion of the head out that way you can latch on still.

 

Thats been my dream since i got my car one 10 on each side, but if it doesnt work then on to plan 2.

 

use the factory mounting point for the subwoofer. there is a little hole in the wall. thats what i used for my amp rack
