sub box tends to slide around in the trunk alot

any suggestions on what i can do???....i have it kind of rigged up with bungee cords right now but it still moves around

i also dont want to drill into the metal of the trunk

Take it out.

i know this is going to sound stupid but, depending on how heavy it is, what about VELCRO?

you can buy strips of it at an office supply store and just line the bottom of the box with it for maximum grippage
DZ302
use wood and screws. i'm sure you have some kind of cover over your jack and spare that you can drill through and then use whatever you put on there as anchors.

Glad to see that reason finally took its course.

make a better enclosure for it instead of a shitty box.
leif
you buy a hotted up WRX, then fill it with junk...WTF

Take out the sub box, take out all the speakers, stereo, amps, gay little bobble heads and use that subaru properly! if you wanted a mobile Hi-Fi why didnt you save your damn money, buy a 2.5RS and fill it to the tits with Alpine stuff?


I dont get this silly stereo craze...I like music...i like having crisp sounds coming from my car...but i dont understand driving at 20 km/h down a residential street in a car with more BHP than god...listining to JZ or some other crap gaurenteed to cause hearing loss.

Friend of mine uses a semi-soft rubber mat in his 2.5RS' trunk. Works pretty well until he takes a sharp corner fairly quickly then the box tends to slide a little bit.
CRiZO
Get some L shaped brackets, and screw that sucker down.

Seriously. Thats what I did a bagillion years ago when I had a system.

What about the roll-up meshed rubber-foam mats (Dollar stores, Canadian Tire, etc). Easily cut with scissors, and you can colour match too. You know the kind... people put them in dashboards so that cellphones and kleenex boxes stick etc...

HAHAHA. You replied as I was posting. whistle.gif

Oh, back to the subject at hand.

Others have mentioned it. Use an L bracket, velcro or take the box out. Your call. Depends on how much work you want to put into it.

Personally, I would have done a false floor and be able to use my trunk. That's just me. In your case, the best solution is the L bracket. Do you want to drill into the trunk area somewhere?

Something like this.

LOL all that for such a shitty setup. reminds me of the guy i saw with an f body who did a giant custom fiberglass thing in his whole trunk...and had a fuckin bazooka subwoofer

I could careless about his setup, it's the idea of having a trunk and not losing it to a box.
TrueSlideXL
Stuff some rags and 2x4's in there.....
PBB
Definitely drill and L-bracket it to the floor.
Consider that in an accident anything on a "slip-resistant" mat will become a projectile. Usually towards your head, Coma-boy.

And big ups to the lurker for not being a stupid n00b.

X.gif I hate bazooka. Infinity's basslink sub is a far better preamplified sub (the one I have).

..but i'll take taht as a compliment
z0ne
if god was driving in an SLR, i would slap that bearded man. HES GOD! HE CANT DRIVE A MANUAL!?!

Luckly for me my box is big enough and heavy enough with the 2 12' so it doesnt slide around. But i would think the best bet is to screw it down with the L shaped brackets somehow. Did you dynamat your trunk, im buying some real soon and I have been told that it would make it sound better.

i thought WRXs only had 227?

and even 350 isn't that much. certainly not enough to be amazed about, seeing as how plenty of cars come with that stock these days. it was a lot in 1960 though

Its a modded WRX.

350 hp is enough to snap the WRX's pansey transmission in half though, and please, don't refer to the 60s. They measured HP different back then and their actual hp ratings were 2/3 of what they published.

oh i was thinking it was stock. it still isn't "more hp than god". it's more horsepower than your average sport sedan
