    Default Fixing Down a sub

    Whats the most efficient way of fixing down a sub? I know screws or that sort of stuff but I'm just interested to see how other people have done it.

    Velcro tape works well.....just use some little countersunk screws to attach it to the underside of the box. Only the "hook" side of the tape.....it sticks to the carpet and stops it from moving (unless you like drifting or roll the car)

    you can get a 2 straps like on ya back pack with them pull fasteners and go around each side of the sub and around the lpg tank and pull em tight mine is like the cept facing through the back seat and looped through the parcel shelf steel. Amp maybe a problem. Could always make a cardboard template of the radius of the lpg tak and make some wood spacers and cover em in the carpet like the sub thats what i would do..

    good luck mate

    any non visual attempt ive ever made at securing a sub box has come undone. Velcro works, for a little while, ideally, finding somewhere to mount a bracket or hook, then feeding some type of strap through it, and either around the sub box, or attach it via the same way, to the sub box, if that makes sense....
