ok heres the story i have cut a piece of MDF to fit in my boot to mount everything on. So i was wondering if people have done this b4 (some should of) and how they attached the MDF to the floor of the boot?

screws, bolts, L brackets, you name it

']screws, bolts, L brackets, you name it
I mean like there is existing bolts in the floor (not to game to take them out and use the holes) and i don't really wanna drill through the metal so wat does it leave me with?

I put brackets to the spare wheel well cover and the underneath of the parcel shelf.

not really.....

can you at least draw up a good 3D picture in paint? if your going for walls and such, L brakcets would be the best, dont worry about a few small holes in the boot floor area.........if your going for something removable or even permanent you will need to make holes in your boot floor.

tip - measure twice drill once

make a false floor out of MDF and then u have as much area to attach your side peice as you could ever want. Im in the middle of doing it atm.

for the last 2 months i have had a piece of Mdf on the floor of the boot a very very very tight fit so it doesn't move, then had the subbox drilled onto that where the backseat door is, the amp just next to that. my problem is love to destroy my ear drums and when i have the woofer cranked most of the screws came out and everything rattled including the MDF (bcos it was never bolted to the car just snuggly in place). My theory is that if i bolt the MDF down to the car then remount everything back on with a whole bunch more screws it should be better. Then later down the track insulate the boot to stop rattle

I used good quality double sided tape to hold MDF to the floor of my boot. It has worked perfectly so far.

another more removable option might be adhesive backed velcro

I'm sorry, that's just... :bowrofl: :gtfo: :fruitcake

My sub box is held on with velcro. If you use heaps it won't budge. seriously.
Mine has been in for close to a year and hasn't rattled loose or been flung from fast cornering or anything. It is also removable...

I just cut a few pieces of MDF that sit on my floor like a jigsaw puzzle. One piece is hinged so that I can still access the spare, and the whole floor is the same height without being bolted anywhere. Fits snug.

There is one bolted through the base on one side as it is an 'L' piece and needed to stop from falling forward.

That said, my sub box doesnt roll anywhere and its not fixed with anything. Just sits on the top of the carpet. If you do need to fix the sub box, id use velcro.

ok thanks for ur input everyone, after playing with it today i have a solid piece of MDF firmly on the bottom as a base i have made it level ( i put tiny lil legs on it) i stripped the whole boot i am using triangle brackets to hold it to the back of the seat i found some holes. then i will drill the sub box down then attach the sub and mount the amp next to it.
There is lots of reasons i wont use velcro
1. it wont be strong enough my sub moves around alot when it is up loud even with me and my mate standing on it, it manages to vibrate along the garage
2.cbf buying any i have a drill lots of wood and long screws

If you pull up all your carpet, and i mean all of it from the boot you you will find lil plastic clips you can screw into. Thats what i did, i just completed the false floor in my magna, just screwed it straight into these clips and its in there and not moving one bit.
