Default Sub Box Anchoring

Is there a need to anchor the sub box to the car or is the figment and sail panel enough to hold it in place for a Driver’s side mount?

If so, how did you do it? I don’t see any good posts for this question.

Thanks!

I'm a little confused. Are you talking about the 10" sub box for the corner of the trunk?

I have had one of those in my car for the last 10 years (the sub for only 2 of those). Isn't anchored to anything and hasn't moved an inch.

I highly recommend buying a grill cover for it though. I installed a Rockford 10 with a very sturdy Rockford screen style grill over it.

Thank you for the info, Tyler!

will be trimming it a bit on the top to eliminate that gap it causes from being too tall.

I have the same problem and I just rolled with it. It does bother me every time I open the hatch though. Send a pic when you're finished.

A little extra info follows:

Just so you know that's the "hatch area". The sail panel area is where the two speakers are in the rear seating area. Those are actually small 6.5" subs. Do not put regular speakers in there.
