I have a pack of this - with more available at my local stationers / arty crafty store.

I'll be trying this when my installs ready to be put in. Still not exactly sure how or where I'm gonna put the velcro pads, or if it'll work at all, but Its worth a try. Im still worried about keeping the original carpet floor and bumps and bangs when i go over bumps on my hard suspension etc.

Anyway here's the stuff:

Get down to B&Q cos they do some really thick heavy duty velcro with mega sticky back which will stick to any thing, even carpet on sub boxes.

Yea velcro stuff works a treat, mate has long strips of the stuff and stuck it to the bottom of his sub (in rows and loads of it) and just smacked it down onto his carpet and it doesnt move at all. However, for big, heavy installs i would look at bolting the thing to the car rather than velcro - cant really see it holding the install in place etc

p.s - i think my mate might have got his stuff from B&Q, if so the stuff works a treat

The stuff pictured can be bought from art and craft, good stationary stores.

the stuff from B&Q is bigger, and a heck of a lot stringer - more industrial stuff.

Not seen it myself.
