They are used in HT to couple the enclosure to the floor.

Brass spikes.

Get ordinary 1/4" bolts that cost pennies and use a grinder to form a sharp tip.

Why not just build your own foundry and make your own bolts too!!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

It's cheaper to buy a bolt at home depot for a few cents than to start your own bolt manufacturing business. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Spikes in a home stereo system with a solid floor I can see. Spikes to anchor a subwoofer to the sheet metal floor of a trunk seems....pointless.

I guess if nothing it will keep the box from sliding.

They aren't made for use in a car.
