Default Fitting Subs...How did you do yours?

Hi Guys,

Now the ERST is back on the road I am going to re-fit my sub! It is nothing special and I am not going for the "boom boom look at me" effect, just to give my gay disco music a bit more ooomph!

When it was fitted before I made up a false floor which was a bit shoddy in all honestly so it was secured down! Otherwise it just velcroed down to the carpet which then slid about everytime I put the brakes on!

I dont really wanna go down the false floor route but I will if I have to so I am just wondering how did you fit yours?

Thanks

Depends really what sub you have.

I have a 12" tube in the boot, pushed right up against the lights, I have my makeshift toolbox (a cardboard box) inbetween that and the seat. My amp and multichanger are simply just velcro'd down, and my halfords toolkit is up against the amp.

If you just have the sub and amp, and nothing else, then i would bolt the amp to the sub (if possible) and then maybe find some way of securing it. In my 3i, I screwed both my amp's at the time to the back of the seats, and I had a 10" box and a 10" tube strapped together.

Other thing to look at is the wiring
