I've been meaning to 'clean up' my trunk for months, but it just isnt going to happen for quite a while with everything going on. I have a shitty xplod amp and two mediocre polk audio subs in a crappy prefabbed box in my car right now. I hate it. I bought a single 12" jl 12w3, but I need a new amp for it too.. and I just dont have the money. So my main concern right now is stopping the subs I do have from sliding all over the trunk. Velcro just isnt working and I dont know what else to do. Its pretty ghetto rigged back there... and it doesnt sound horrible right now (to me) I just dont want the subs moving around back there anymore. its a lot worse now too with the extra power. So, does anyone have any suggestions or can help me with this.

you should come by and check out my setup. My sub box is held in place VERY firmly, but it has a quick removal feature for racing and stuff. I have a few ideas, but I don't want someone online to tell me they are stupid or won't work. So if you wanna see/hear them, we'll have to meet up somewhere.

Ok cool, my schedule is like this, I work 3p-11p with wednesday thursday off, usually I'm free any other time except Im going to boston tuesday for the day. but I am leaving work at 7p monday night. so if you want to meet up with me anytime before 3 or monday after 7 or on a wed or thurs (but I am having the brakes fixed on the QM this upcoming wed I think)

normally my schedule is much more flexible, but I think you get the idea

lol

So... if I read that right, you work on weekends, but from 3-11. If that's so, then we can meet Sunday before 3....
alright... uh...

I guess we'll figure it out.

yeah Sunday sounds fine, pick a time and place... Im thinking maybe clifton park since it seems like a halfway point. let me know

CP sounds good. Maybe Quiznos

Sean (styles) had some sort of solution for this I think as well. Might try him.

Figure it out and let me know, just keep in mind that I have to be at work at 3. so i'd have to leave where ever at like 2 if we are in clifton park. other than that i'm down for whatever.

I'ld like to hear about what you did. My subs love to move around also. I have been thinking of some type of quick release brace.

I have the same problem with my subs moving...i took them out and now im looking for someone to help me build a custom box and hopefully a solution to stop the movement....well u COULD buy one of those cargo bars that pull out to the required width and that may keep your subs in place till you find a better solution

Red04WRX · « **Reply #12 on:** May 10, 2005, 04:02:54 AM »

They dont move around anymore, but my trunk is pretty ugly now

I need to get some carpet and I also need to make a rack to put my amp and sirius tuner on.... then it should look ok I hope

edit: I shouldnt say "they don't move around" because in the process I took the two 10's out and replaced it with one JL 12" that I bought from stylesrex. thing fuckin thumps

I cant believe how much louder it is, haha my headlights are dimming a little now.. I have it turned waaayyyy down also... not used to all that bass. haha and I was worried that one 10" wouldnt be enough. oh well.

RED, "I took the two 10's out and replaced it with one JL 12" that I bought from stylesrex. thing fuckin thumps"

I was always impressed by how many notes the JL actually plays. My subs now only really punch on a few beats and kinda gets annoying and repetitive. Glad you are liking the sub. Now go drop hits like fumbles!!!!!!

thats right!!1

I was going to change out my crappy amp, but honestly it doesnt sound that bad. guess I'll leave it alone for now... Just got to clean that shit up so opening my trunk isnt an embarassment

nicad · « **Reply #15 on:** May 10, 2005, 01:29:23 PM »

JL makes good subs.
