Sub and Amp in Boot ! !

[csmooth21]

Ive wired up my sub and amp, and they are both just sittting in the boot, any1 got any ideas how to secure them, so they dont move about??

[z3P]

make a false floor take the speaker out the sub and mount them both to the false floor.

or you could just do like me iv got a hook type thing on the back of my seat and other half a ring on the sub so i just drop it in and it dont move one bit can take the sub out in like 3secs

That looks good enuff to me mate,. jus aslong as poo isnt sliding about the place LOL
do you think it would be a good or bad idea to drill the amp onto the sub box? ?
or drill it onto the back on one of the seats?

[z3P]

well if it was me id fix the amp to eaither where iv stuck it or the back of seats so you can still take the sub out easy for your spare wheel as if you mounted it to your sub ud have to mess about disconecting the amp ect to take it out

i just secured the amp to the sub enclosure. But it makes it kinda easier to nick if sum1 really wants as all one neat little package. It guess it just depends on whether or not u plan on running over any glass or just get runflats....makes things so much easier! i sweat ive run over glass bottles and crushed the things and still not got punctures. But then again my tyres are like army solid lol...had em for ova two years done 25k on em and still good for at least another 5k!

I had my amp screwed to my sub box, but then i got a new amp and its too big lol, If i have it on top of the boxes, the parcel shelf wont go down because of my 6x9's touching the amp, and if i put the amp on the back of the box then the subs touch the edge of the boot. Cant put it at the side becasue there is a port and i dont want to obstruct that becasue it will stop the bass coming out the port. bit stuck.

dont leave you with meny choices does it mate eaither mount it to one the back seats or just make a false floor its easy todo an can look cool

or u can get sticky back velcro and velcro it to the floor (or wall if enough velcro used). problem sorted

And if that fails

Ducktape is allways an option

simmlar to the scraps lorry drivers use to secure loads in the back of their wagons

[jar_jar89]

my amp is bolted to the back of the seats, my subwoofer doesn't move because my boot is full of empty cardboard boxes to stop it moving. lol

I hate having to get out the car and put the wires back in the subwoofer 'cus they come out when I've been rallying the car.

i used to have the same problem in my old corsa with the sub box moving around and wires coming out the amp etc. what i did was got a sleeping back and put in the boot covering the whole floor then put the sub and amp on top of it. they didnt move around and the sound was much better! also, if i decided to sleep in my car for some reason i would have a sleeping bag

My friend has a punto, he's built a very simple boot build. Just literally, some wood cut out to right shape and size put in the boot, carpetted over, holes cut out in the right places (sub, amp, powercap)

It's a very simple & effective way to:
1- make it look pretty
2- stop the moving of the subwoofer.
