I have a 2000 Grand Prix GT and i got 1 12in L7 in a ported box and i will soon have a amp within' the next 24hours. The other amp i had hooked up tho kept sliding all over the dang place and my wires kept getting ripped out. What would you reccomend i use to keep it still and in one spot? ANYTHING that will not create more rattling when i'm bumpin will do. HELPPP??

find a place where there are existing bolts for your spare tire and whatnot and connect the box to those...

BOLT IT DOWN! if you get in a wreck that thing is coming right through the seat back. anybody see the fifth gear episode where they did this? even a tool box in the back went off like a grenade in a wreck, destroyed the seat back and sprayed tools everywhere. that speaker box weighs a lot more then a toolbox. most interesting was where it hit the drivers seat and mangled it. remember the laws of physics.

Bolt the box down, and you can screw the amp down to an amprack, or use sheet metal screws and put it on the truck or something along those lines.

if its not carpeted try carpeting it that will increase friction

I mounted my amp to my box, slid the box all the way against the seat, and cut a board to fit up against the box to the back of the trunk. Doesn't budge.
