I just got a 10 inch sub off a mate which came already in the box. At the moment it is just loose in the boot because i dont know where or how to mount it. does anyone have any suggestions or pics of what they have done?

If u want to do it soo it wont move or easy to pinch, just go buy a couple L brackets n bolt them to the box and bottom of parcel shelf or back of the seats (metal part not the accual seat)

Or if u just want it to hold in place n make it easy to pul in n out just get sum ocky straps, i use em to hold my box's down as i dont want to have to unbolt em each time i need sum room. Ive got 4 straps that hold my box's in place n they dont move an inch.

There are plenty of ways to mount the box u just gotta think which way will suit ur needs better.

something simple nobody has mentioned is sticking a piece of MDF under the carpet and then screwing the sub box down into it so the carpet is sandwhiched between the sub box and piece of MDF under the carpet. holds things firm, isn't unsitely and requires minimal effort.

need to take it out sometimes or move it around, but want it all to look neat and tidy?

Yeah i totally agree with this, Ive got 12" Sony Sub in the boot attached by Velco, it will never move, and like Danny said, if you ever sell the car and they dont like bolts and **** in the back...VELCRO.
