Bali Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I really hate cars especially small ass ones for bass, but it's what i have to work with for now, so i put in 2 l brackets with screws cuz they came with them, and i could barely get 2 in anyway and one of them moves Anyway this is about as good as it's going to get for this car (i've had this done for a while btw): The bracket that doesn't quite hold because there is metal under it so it's just screwed into the carpet lol The bracket that does hold Any suggestions to make the box hold better and not slide?

Berto Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 When does it slide, when your driving or when you bump? Cuz when I had my system going (Two 12") my box didn't slide around when I drove and I'm pretty sure your box and sub weighs about twice what mine did. But if you still need to brace it try bigger l brackets. Quote TEAM FLEX ISSUES Car: 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal 24" Rims HU: 7" Carputer, Planet Audio EQ, iPhone.

I think the shti blows those brackets off though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well even if you don't, what I was thinking is that you could push your box until it's leaning on one of your trunk walls and then practically fill the opposite side with brackets, or you could put a few bigger one.

raytard Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 band iron zipscrewed to the rear deck, then screwed into the box ghetto but it works...i wouldnt suggest screwing into the metal, most cars have a gastank thereabouts or if you wanna go all out, take the carpet out, lay it on 1/2 inch plywood, trace it, cut it out, staple/glue the carpet on, and then screw the box to that (which is what i did, and never had an issue again) Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Kitchen mat under the box and you can take turns as fast as you want without worry, but are you going to trim down those 1/0 wires going into the amp, because one bump or whatever and those wires touch.
