Help With Bracing H/Us

[Jingle]

Okay I have had this problem in 3 cars. When the bass hits the cd will skip. First just to state that its not the quailty of the h/u in my old truck i had a new alpine that skipped due to bass. Now in my new dodge it skips, but i dont care cuz i just use my ipod. but I just built a wicked box for my firend's truck and his kenwood does the same thing. I was wondering if there is a way to stop this. I read something about a backstrap but have no idea what that is. I installed all of h/u's and they played fine. What is the best way to fix this problem. It's really annoying seeing that we cant hear the full potential of his new system.

I think the backstrap is the piece of slotted metal they give you with new decks.

You can also try some foam strategically placed to cushion the deck.

but if you use foam make sure the deck can still breathe properly.... if not it will overheat and somebodys gonna loose a good deck
