i dont really know what its called..
but i have a 12" slimline subwoofer in my boot and it slides around if i take sharp corners

so is there a DIY around to stop the subwoofer from sliding around?
ive searched for quite a bit, but failed

or do any of you guys have ideas for boot mod to stop sub from slidin?

thanx in advance

ive been thinking of doing this type of setup
but thought maybe it would take too long and unpractical

heres a pic..
brown bits are wood i guess
then after if u can be bothered, put another wood overlay with a cut-out of the sub so u can hide the strange planks of wood
wood used would probably be pine? light/cheap

you should have it standing up right against the back seats than you need to get these cords and you hook it in behind where the back of your seat hooks into it should hold it thast what i done on mine might move a bit but will be secure http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00geJaEhrWhIkm/Bungee-Cord-Elastic-Strap.jpg

but doesnt the amp get really hot
putting a sub against the amp cant be that good

also i think my sub has some thin plastic layer so if i put it close, it might melt lol

velcro will ruin your boot carpet after a while
sticky side will give up and become.. useless as frankie said

Well if you need to take out your spare tyre just un bolt it. You dont take out your spare tyre once a week do you?
