siucsaluki11 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 So what do you guys do to keep your box from sliding around in the trunk? Personally, I've got mine held in place by L brackets on every side of it screwed into the body, but some of them are starting to loose their bite i think, i get some side to side movement, but none front to back. I don't wanna screw into my gas tank or anything, and I'm wanting to build a new box and some amp racks...so yeah, what do you guys do to keep your boxes in place?

Crandis16 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) L-brackets. if not fastened then it can be very dangerous in a car accident Edit: didn't read enough. I have a false floor made of 3/4" MDF to drill into that makes fastening boxes better Edited July 9, 2012 by Crandis16 Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siucsaluki11 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 carpeted box and trunk=box dont move in my car bullshit it doesn't move, try slamming on your breaks on the highway and see if it doesn't move...friction is not enough, especially if you get into an accident, figure a sheet of MDF at 75lbs, thats a box right there, add in a pair of decent 12s, 20lbs each, thats now a 115lb weight waiting to be thrown when your car goes from moving to stopped in a fraction of a second.

Depends on your involvement in the situation, from an onlookers perspective it's a damned good show. Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a false floor made of 3/4" MDF to drill into that makes fastening boxes better they are fastened, just don't really trust them. The frame that holds the back seat is a beast though, all tube steel and held in place by 4 decent sized bolts (the setback itself i mean)... I may look into making a false floor around the box to screw the l brackets too.....i don't have the heigh to give up 3/4 of an inch back there. I know they bit the sheet metal, i just don't know how much i trust them, which is why they are about every 4 inches across the back of my box....

Crandis16 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 get a larger diameter screw to use, I think I used a 3/16" or 1/4" diameter screw for the false floor and they are working pretty well so far.

CDetty Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 carpeted box and trunk=box dont move in my car bullshit it doesn't move, try slamming on your breaks on the highway and see if it doesn't move...friction is not enough, especially if you get into an accident, figure a sheet of MDF at 75lbs, thats a box right there, add in a pair of decent 12s, 20lbs each, thats now a 115lb weight waiting to be thrown when your car goes from moving to stopped in a fraction of a second. Yeah. I have a lightweight setup, but going 35 to 0 in less than 2 seconds, the box actually snapped the bolts holding my rear deck to the seats and got stuck between. I had to kick it out. Both box and trunk are carpeted =/ Quote 1999 Honda Civic- RIP 2003 Acura RSX Type-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
