Sub box that stays put.
 
I have a huge box built by jachin. I love the box it sounds and looks great. I would just like to be able to put stuff in my trunk. I have thought of going the FIberglass route. Has anyone has built a box that will stay put in a trunk? Tips? Reccomendations? Help?

Man He makes KillR boxes...

I literally bolted mine to the chassis stiffner that runs behind
the rear passenger seats.... (2k B'ville)

Used some angle iron & tap screw'd to the beam and just
tack'd a nut onto the angle to thread a bolt through the
box (mine has a lip to attach through) 1/4" bolts

perhaps a similar method but dont damage the box!
what about the real heavy hook-n-loop, it'd likely
hang on to the trunk carpet....

i was tihnking of that but wouldnt the metal arms vibrate alot? i moved my cargo net and attched it to thise wide plastic pull things on the rear wall to hold mine in place

I built my box to fasten in this fashion...

the box falls just 1/4" below the "lip" on the
stiffning member. The angle is tight to the
steel and across the chasis I placed some
1/2" thick foam weather strip for the box to
butt up to.

The box was pushed tight to the foam and
then marked for the bolt holes. It's tight and
don't rattle that I can notice.

Even the eye bolt idea is good but a turnbuckle
would allow you to remove it easily or tighten it
up if it's noisy.

After reading the post about the bumper collision
causing the trunk to pop and a theft of opportunity...

I thought it'd be a good plan to secure the box through
the pass-through. The box hides the amp and other
sundry equipment, and requires access to the cabin
to remove the bolts to pull the box.

i don't know if your box is carpeted or not..but mine would go all over the place until i carpeted it....the carpet keeps it in place...there are also 2 2x4 legs screwed on underneath and they are wrapped in carpet as well...

There it is...you can see the legs in that shot...might work for yours....

Good luck,

James

Here's the ones I make, they stay put with no fastening http://bradgoldring.com/goldringaudio.htm

(In 92-99s) I don't know the trunk dimensions for any other years.

Those are some pretty nice little boxes you got there. Did you start the business yourself? How many boxes do you sell a year?
