Get the 3M velcro tape.Its white in colour & very very strong.

the best way is to fixed it in a place. with proper bracket

For my case, just use a rubber mat to hold the woofer box...

Own ok...I dunno wether to do bracket or not because I might need to remove the sub when I need to carry a lot of stuff in the trunk
But mikex where do you find the rubber mat or it's better to use Velcro
Yesterday lucky I didn't turn on the ice if not dunno what will happen to the sub lol
It's literally box on the sub lucky the sub foam Is not damaged

1 thing bad about Velcro is the Glue....
Rubber Mat no glue lo

jus drive slower la bro.. n enjoy d music as long as possible...

problem settled... LOL

lead foot, it can't be helped.

Haha this.
I have a heavy foot on the accelerator lol

that's the reason u need to do a proper install at the back for everything....less headache and easy to maintain...then the sub box can find a good place to screw in, when wanna remove, just unscrew 2 to 3 screw and u can remove it..simple and effective...

I just use a RM8 per piece rubber mat got from car accessories section in Carrefour or Parkson. Cheapo method but do the job.

Show u a pic of the woofer box on rubber mat...


Attached thumbnail(s)

confirmed won't work on touge/track. because even with velcro + 2x toolboxes "clamping" the woofer box, my woofer box will still move

I dont know about u all... my one work just fine and i also like to speed on cornering ... no issues...

Got one more option hehe
Which is put away the subwoofer before any crazy driving

yea, i can help you to keep it if you don't mind.

I will even let u use it if u have proper amp to drive it
When I need to take the sub out hehehe such as track day
Still funding for supercharger hehe

I bought a pack of RM5 velcro from Daiso, got 4 pcs. it does hold my sub after some side way action at genting

Thanks bro this is what I need
Cheap and effective not to forget no modification to car hehe

I don't think most of the reply has a sub as heavy as yours. Also they don't drive as crazy as you too...

Try velcro way, I doubt it will meet your requirement. The EA fler way would be best lar.

Or you want my way? Dampen the sub box until 30kg...

then he will come back to you and say his car lost noticeable amount of pickup and heavy

If the car is heavy, he will upgrade to <TURBO>

Haha bro OK lolz I will try the cheapest option first
But I don't want a 30kg sub box he he too heavy then the car will lose its handling capabilities hehe

im on velcro + 2 box clamping the sub

i can attest that it does not work. and hell, how crazy can a stock iswara car go? and how heavy can a simple box entry level sub can go?

go figure out the rest.

Maybe the real solution is to put out the sub before driving crazily he he
Less weight for the car also :hehe

up to you lo lol

Or it the sub inside the car and put seatbelts on wahahaha

yeah and when the sub crashed through your window or your face, it'll be too late.

but of course, feel free to install racing harness to ensure the sub is strapped in properly

Jst make a bracket screw on the woofer box. :-)

Haha OK lol
Too ad I have to leave early hehe but finally got that nice Celine Dion song titles hehe

The thing that worked for me, is not the stick-on velcro, but the heavy duty thick velcro you get from curtain shops. Get that velcro and get a heavy duty stapler gun, stapler a few strips of the velcro on the woofer and you'll be cursing you did it when you're trying to remove the woofer manually after that

this method survived Genting touge with my driving style on my previous Kicker 12" sub which weighs a LOT. And i only installed 2 strips on each side

your sub occupies the entire trunk which the trunk itself can be a clamping factor. the rest of us not so much though

I'm talking about my old sub, which does not occupy the entire trunk and was heavy as hell. There was once the velcro actually peeled off from the woofer itself, with the velcro still sticking to the car mat(not enough staplers. damn) and the woofer went rolling around in my boot when i took corners in Genting and when the woofer hit the walls of the boot, the car actually shook

so bolt on still better, lol.

Haha

it's better, but velcro and stapler gun is a cheaper and simpler method to do than bolting the woofer down, plus it's easier to remove if you need to if you use the velcro. Those curtain velcro's are seriously strong.

what i did that i could hang my sub box if i wanted to... only applies if you have a rear struts bar or the likes though...

make a bracket to fasten the sub box to the struts bar... everything settles.

I had my 4 amps rack, processors, and sub box fasten to it... it's a stealth install as well if you know how to hide the screws... i did it by hiding the amp screws at the back of the cover holders... wan to open the amp, you have to unscrew 8 screws just to get to the amp's screws...

pry open the cover holder is not a easy option as well if you know how to choose materials...

But if they steal your whole car then nothing to say la...

Don't use velcro. I have tried it and is useless if you drive like an idiot, and especially if you play dance music with loud bass boom bang. The woofer will dance non stop and hit the amps.

Kena once before and afterthat I chose to install brackets. Regret didn't accept their suggestion at first place. Luckily it was just a slight damaged.

I dont like velcro because when i want move my sub, it sticks to the bottom carpet and the carpet follow the sub.Then need to rearrange the carpet again.Now i just use a simple cable to tie the box around if i go for some spirited driving.
