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 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...

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. |
