Best way to secure sub to car?

[PuZo 10+ year member]

I am trying to figure out a good and easy way to secure my sub in my trunk. If you make heavy/hard turns(which my brother does) then it moves around. Not enough to pull out any cables, but you never know. So what is the best way? A metal bar somewhere? Any ideas? Thanks

L brackets. Very cheap, for a set, and they come with screws. Walmart - $2, in the "hardware" section.

It depends on the box. Lag bolts work well in some cases where theres nothing in danger under the car but I would probalby use L brackets as tou have a smaller chance of hitting anything.

make a templet out of cardboard of the trunk and make a mdf floor, then use l brackets to to secure the box down to that using bigger gauge screws. then you can carpet the floor or stain it depending on wood selection, or whatever you think of.

If you're not going to screw/ bolt to the floor, I suggest industrial strength velcro.'

Costs about 6$ at HD

That velcro only works if the box is under 50lbs and its not summer.. The glue on the one side of the velcro actually melts and gives way. This is what happened to me.

Bigger subs

Well the factory carpet, or the regular one covering the bottom of the trunk moves around also, ie its not only the sub that moves, it move the entire carpet as well.

False floor it, then use L brackets. How do you have your amp(s) secured?

put bolt from iside your box through the frame that is theft proof, but if they are in the car things are already not going well.

I mount my subs to the floor via an enclosure.
