How to Secure a Sub

[mctw]

Heyy guys,

Really as the title says, I've picked up a used sub + amp from a friend thats in need of a little TLC - BARGIN! I'm just thinking though, whats the best way to anchor it into the boot? I want to be able to easily (ish) remove it, so I can use my full boot space if needed... Wiring isnt a problem for that, already figured it out... Oh, I have a Clio MK1 if it helps...

Cheers

Mine came with a few velcro strips that you stick onto the bottom. hasnt ever moved and then when you want just pull it out lol simple

 

[clancy]

yeah velcro strips would probably be best bet

Was going to say use the isofix bar but you have a mk1 so +1 for velcro.

I've seen a few pages that recommend heavy duty velcro too... Out of interest, did you stick the velcro to the carpet? Or to the metal underneath and cut the carpet out...

 

[Dominic172]

just leave the carpet as is and bung the velcro on the bottom of the sub m8

If you're not bothered about what the boot looks like inside use a bungee rope lol mine hasn't moved yet

Yeah velcro is a brilliant idea :slap:

Get it bolted down! Or just don't ever brake suddenly or drive in front of anyone you suspect might rear-end your car and force the sub towards the windscreen.

Seriously though, heavy duty or not. Think of the weight of even a small sub + the force of an accident :dead:

Lol. Velcro is more than enough.

Mine jumps around over speed bumps! Never been bolted down!

This has no relevance to your question.

A couple of small L brackets should keep it nicely in place.
