Everytime I go round a sharpe corner my subwoofer ends up on the other side of my boot Bit worried that the wires might get ripped out the back so need to get it stuck down some how.

How have people gone about this? Was thinking about velcro? Reckon that would be strong enough? Any other methods that might be worth a try?

Cheers

a quick and easy idea would be to use a piece of mdf to fit inbetween the inner wheel arches, and lay the boot carper over the top of it. put you sub where you want it, and use a couple of bits of 2" by 1", put them round the edge of the sub box and fix them down the the mdf.

Thats one idea, could make it quite tidy if you spend some time on it.
