Anyones speakerbox flips over during hard breaking? I lay my back seats down all the time. And in the rare cases of hard braking, my box always flips over. I was thinking of getting the factory cargo net to try and hold it back if it happens again. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you have kids, you could have one of them ride in the trunk and hold it down for you. If not, velcro works too.

that would have to be strong velcro.

way back (2 years ago)..when I had a dual 10" box I used a large bungee and hooked to the two D clips next to the package tray. Somehow, I had just enough force on it to keep it from ever moving. But before that my box would bang against my side panels of the hatch and crack them up pretty badly.

Another idea is to take out yoru package tray and secure "L" brackets to it and bend to the proper angle to attach to the back of your box. Once you get it all screwed together right you should be able to stick the package tray back on without being able to see much of the brackets you used.

That bungee idea is pretty good. Probly gonna do that. I was also of thinking of a rear strut bar. But if the box does demage to the bar..well that'll suck!

most of the rear strut bars attach where the seats fold up and latch near the seltbelts....so if your box is flying around that much or even that tall then there is a chance it could touch it, but I never had any issues...even with a single 12" box unbolted in the back sitting in the spare tire hole. That thing REALLY flew around and didn't once hit my carbon cargo cover or my hypermotive bar.

Hey Red...where in NC are you? I have a megan racing rear strut bar that is just collecting dust because I swapped it for the hypermotive if your interested.

You can just bolt the box down through the floor. It isn't very thick and you have to be careful not to hit anything on the other side. It also makes your equipment harder to steal, which is always a plus.

I'm from Albemarle. Not far from Charlotte. Got any pics of the bar?

go to home depot, in the hardware section they have brackets called L brackets, in different lengths, those will be your best bet. screw them on the sides of the box, one near each corner, then you dont have some tacky ropes and stuff hanging all over the place

i used velcro before building my new setup. worked great, no flipping or slidding

 

[v3bahumut]

My box slides to the left, and only to the left........otherwise it stays put.....

I really want to know why only the left :shrugs:

 

[02celica]

mine never flips.. it might move a lil.. but the sub is so heavy that i dont think it can flip over.

 

[vegeta4ss]

Red, i'll get you some pics. Its in storage with a lot of my oem stuff. I'll go dig it out today or tomorrow.

I know albemarle fairly well, you really aren't that far at all.
