[porksoda 10+ year member]

Well recently my system got stolen and i wanna be just a little more safer so i was wondering if i should bold that sucker down to the truck? I case some one does try to steal stuff they wont get very far when they find out they cant move my box. Thanks for the info guys!

if they can't move it...they'll destroy it

But yeah if it's small enough to get out easily, bolt it down.

My box however is so big and heavy it cannot be lifted out by one person, nor can it be lifted out without removing the amps first...it's about an hour project with a lot of tools and swearing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you should ALWAYS mount/bolt your boxes down

i typically use nuts/bolts instead of jsut wood screws, and if i am using wood screws i use something with a square head

especialy on subs

Why?

I love the sound of my box sliding around and crushing things....

Seriously... Don't you? Especially if it is a container holding liquid or my amplifiers... God I love that...

always should be bolted down. Not just because of it being stolen easily but also because it may end up against a wall and you'll be pumping that sub and it will be slapping against a wall, probably damaging the surround. Also, if not bolted down things could go up to the surround and damage it, slice it open.... happened to me a long time ago. Bolt them shiites down ever since.

And I thought he was being serious, d@mn your crazy!

Are there really people driving around with these half ton boxes just sitting there? What if you roll it, or will you be dead anyway???

Also remember that a 100lb+ subwoofer enclosure isn't something you want flying around in the cabin with you if you get in a wreck. Bolt that thing down.

If I were you I would take your own advice and be safer and bold that sucker down. Why even question it, unless you just want it stolen again.

Where do you live again? Your probably dont lock your doors either do you.
