[Spunkymonkey]

I have my tie bar...and an old car matt underneath the sub, so its alright...

plus I haven't got my amp bolted to the sub anymore as that fell off ages ago....lol

[its.not.ali]

those straps are called bungy cords or soemshit lol but yeah wat wogs use to hold the boot down! lol

even with a mat under the sub.. the carpet still moves...

id bold it down.. but bolt it to what? the spare tyres underneath

I had this problem with my single 12" Sub... it used to bang around corners :)

My fix was buying a big twin 12" sub box which weighed about 50kg's and it was too heavy to move much, worked well.

If you want to keep your existing one, just put a screw through the box and the chipboard covering the spare tyre.

i did that before it worked for a while until the screws started moving with the board, so i have like a hole which is 3x the length of the normal hole.

what i did was take my spare tyre out and chuck the sub in there and it fits perfecally with my amp in there as well so it just doesnt move at all.

my problem is that my sub TAKES my carpet too lol...

i mite have to make something to connect to the baby seat strap lol

but yeah.. ive got velcro, the sub box just takes the carpet with it!

[honda_ek4]

get a rear strut brace and tie the sub to it

[GIPONU]

my idea is... which i plan to do when i have time and money.. cos im broke.lol is...

1.buy a big piece of that wood stuff underneath the carpet
2.cut the wood so it fits the boot exactly,allowing it to lift up and down, like most modern cars have.

-OPTIONAL STEPS-
i)buy new boot carpet of some kind and cut to size
ii)attach it to the existing slots (somehow)

3.get some adhesive and stick the carpet to the wood. ;-)

&& if u wanna make the rear peice removable, just cut the carpet at a appropriate place between the boot and the rear of the rear seats leaving some excess carpet so u cant see where the carpet ends as it is tucked..

I'll prob get around to trying it after my trials. or HSC, if i can be bother. then i'll post my very first DIY :D:D (yes,im feeling proud atm LOL)

or you could follow this diy.

What I did is I got some mdf, cut it out to the same size as the original piece, then cut it down the middle and put some hinges on it, then screwed the sub and amp down. I also screwed the mdf to that metal brace thingy that is just under the rear seats. Your sub and carpet doesn’t move and you can still get to your spare.

[HACRcivic]

[wp89]

i just screwed my box into the cover of the spare tyre...
if you do this make sure you carry a screw driver with you :D

[GIPONU]

mme thinks, ur sub box is just gonna roll with ur spare tire cover instead of sliding on top of it.. hahahz

[wildom69]

im an idiot

[j0s]

^^ story?

[dc2r]

I cut out a piece of MDF to fit the exact shape of the floor (half of it anyway) and since I have a rear strut, I have used straps from Bunnings to wrap around the sub box and the strut bar.

I am now selling my setup... you can buy the piece of MDF off me if you want, after I sell my sub and amp. I also carpeted it black on the top side so it blends in with the rest of the boot floor.

p.s. my amp is also bolted onto the MDF so it works for two things, to sit the sub onto, and bolt the amp into place.
