OK so here's whats been done over the last 2 day - My P5 was entered at Importfest in Toronto, Ontario

I think I just died a little on the inside. :'(

i just have a small little plate, that came with my momo sub box, and i drilled 2 holes for the plate to stick to the box, and then 2 holes into the metal in the trunk. On the right side of the trunk there should be metal, and like this softer material that is drill-able.
heres a picture of that spot, it'll clarify what im saying.

gotcha thanks.. might have to try this soon.. i just dont like drilling in things leaves holes...

I'm sorry to do this cause I know it's a little immature but HAHAHA that's going in the funniest quotes thread. Read it by itself and you'll see what I mean (lol2)

want to know how to keep your sub woofer box from moving without drilling etc?

Go to Target and buy a pack of the Velco squares (or strips) Then staple or use tack nails and put several of the "hook" velco pieces lining the edges of the box and that it. The actually work well at sticking to the carpet of the hatch mat (or trunk mat in sedans) I've used this in the P5 and the MSP and since doing it the box hasnt moved....

Ah man, that sucks! If you decide to go through this you know who to call

BTW, since getting everything together late thursday night the car has so far survived about 250 miles and everything still looks good. I check everything under the hood just about every time I start her up now.

sounds better then drilling.. what are hook velcro pieces. and velcro will really hold a 50 pound box with big G's in the turns?

LOL I have a feeling that if you've got a 50 lb sub box in the trunk, you're probably not going to be pulling 'big Gs' in the turns.


Just sayin...

 

[jeg0024]

Even my huge 50lb+ box I had before got thrown around a lot and I hated it, it just wasn't wide enough to stay in place. I fixed that though, and did some weight redux at the same time!
