    Opened my trunk yesterday and found that my subs were at the back of the car, carpet all over the place, etc. Just wondering what people do to keep the sub box in place. I have 2 12's in a box that won't keep still. I put a bungee around it for now, but it looks tacky.

    What to do?

    In my previous ride, I needed to be able to remove the box at given times, so I used an adjustable cargo bar to hold the box in place. It wasn't pretty, but it wasn't ugly either.....
