    How do you guys keep your subs from sliding around?

    I have my subs in the trunk, 2, 12" in enclosure....they aren't hooked up yet. Before I hook it up I'd like to are how you guys keep it in place?

    They've been all over the trunk right now.

    usually weight holds em down.. if your having issues, try velcro on the base, will stick to the carpet

    I put a piece of wood the length/width of the box under the carpet then from inside the box I screwed it to the board under it. Ran a strip of metal tape from the back of my box over my amp rack which covers the center pass through and screwed it down so the box wont fall face down.

    Yeah no stealing my investment either lol.

    I had a box that weighed at least 175lbs and it liked to slide around a lot.
