Lightbulb Need tips and ideas keeping subwoofer box from moving.

^ without drilling holes and using brackets. Stupid question but what have u guys done to it from moving around. Problem is it moves from the back of the seat to the opening/door of the trunk.

I actually used a ratcheting strap, around the box horizontally, then tied it to another going vertically around the box and looped it through some already existing ports in the rear deck, basically hanging the box from the rear deck, but leaving it on the floor of the truck. This solved my problem, it still moves a little, but it no longer pulls the ground wire out of the amp (box mounted).

Some folks have the box molded to fit one of the spaces on the side of the trunk. Curios is yours a custom box or an amplifield sub from eith Kicker or Sound ordnance.

I'll try that^

If that questions for me, Mines a custom box pretty big, I wanted a shallow sub and box but doesn't have enough power to shake my car if u will lol. I've tried using rubber disk like washers 1 on each side, work ok but does move a bit but not as much. Wanna try using this fabric u put in your utensil drawer to keep it from moving and ill c how that goes.

Rubber disk or washers don't work :/ the utensil liner seems to work not exactly sure what's it's called tho but it keeps they tray of utensils from moving, works so far.

In other cars I've owned I took some Velcro strips and used the side that isn't fuzzy. (If that makes sense lol) just stick it to the bottom of the box and it sticks to the carpet pretty good.

That's a good idea, guess u didn't use the fuzzy side at all, did u use them on all 4 corners or all along the sides?

Right, no fuzzy side at all. Had a roll of it so did a strip the width of the box on each side.
