i know it aint exactly to do directly with civics....... but my 5th gen hatchback has a ported 2x10" sub box that slides all over the "trunk"...... and i was wondering if other people had some good suggestions for this,


i put in a rear strut bar which was a big help cause it was a perfect fit for the length of the box, so it no longer slides front to back..... but it still has about 6 inches on the right and left, and the carpet seccured with the oh-so-strong velcro cant seem to keep the 70 lb box from sliding every turn and slamin my wall..... (right now im using those oil garbage boxs to try to stop it)

just wonderin if other people have silimar problems and want to voice opinions
:cheers:

 

I know this is off topic but 70 lbs ?!!!! wow thats a lot for a civic. If I were you I would try to just modify the box.... other than that the only thing I can think of is wedging something between it and the sides.... or maybe attaching it from the bottom with a plate and some screws if you dont mind drilling into things...

good luck

 

Just bolt down some "L" brackets through the trunk area.. if u don't have anywhere on the floor pannel that u can put a bolt through without goin through the exterior then weld the "L" brackets in.. just measure it out & butt them right up against the box.. (they don't even have to be very tall.. maybe an inch or two).. Hope that helps!

Example:

_|BOX|_

 

L Brackets is a good idea. My box was so heavy it never slid around.
I have a feeling your box isnt 70lbs, If it was it wouldnt move

 

yeah...... im sure im over exadurating a bit..... but its heavy enough to pull the carpet so it will slide to one side and skrunch it up :/

 

Lol get some JL audios 12" W7 and they will hold there place ! lol .

 

Sounding like a sales rep.

 

That does sound like a heavy box...

I just use Velcro on my box, and it stays put. And it's easy to remove if I need more trunk space or if I go track.

 

:werd: i'd use L brackets. in my coupe, the carpet wasn't attached anywhere (unlike my sedan) to the carpet slid with the box. slid so much i had to take the box out. but i was gonna bolt L-brackets to the box and then to the floor in the trunk. :dunno:

 

Yeah that will work ! just get a bigggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg Box that takes up the whole truck !
