hmmm... Im gonna have to try that.
no drilling required :lol:
ohhh where did the other end of the cord go to?
just get some velcro and put on the bottom of the box
there is a bar on the back of the deck lid that works out perfect.Quote:

ps. anyone else name their car?
LOL you named it jenny? omg.
L brackets is all you need
yup yup..they're prolly L brackets... they're like this..|[sub]|
I use velcro.. It's amazing..
go to radioshack they have industrial strenght velcro it will hold it good.
i had L brackets, but that shit didnt help..for long.
i have two 12's in a box and that bitch kept sliding back until i put a full size wheel/tire in the spare tire well and apparantly that made the floor more Level and the box never slid back again. lol
Velcro is the answer.
I hope you dont plan on using this method to hold your DOHC head on... its cheaper than head bolts but god damn thats ghetto dude! LOLQuote:

L brackets FTW! Just make sure you drill in the right place :-D
imma try that velcro thing. my brackets are going wiggity whack
Use the bungy cord. Buy two of them and remove the clips and just put it under the subs. Mine don't move at all and they are hidden so u can't really tell.
hey now lol it was sliding around i had the cord in my trunk and one thing led to another,and it just stayed like that.Quote:

update: so i made the best of all worlds. what i did was use L brackets. to stop the sub from sliding ON the brackets i velcroed it. THEN i used those strap/cord rubber things and wrapped it around the brackets so that the brackets wont slide around in my trunk. can i get an amen or an "aye man...that's useless?"
nice mayne
kinda ghetto. but what ever works for ya.. i can come up with a better idea but meh.. bungie cords and Velcro all i can say is atleast it's not ducktape lolQuote:

i wouldnt consider it ghetto...i mean like..it works? it isnt made out of twigs? i didnt just find junk on the ground and used it? i took careful consideration into making it work. i dont think it's ghetto.
