johnAWD Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 In my current A4, there are cargo hooks in each corner of the trunk. I'm using a webbed tiedown strap to hold the sub in place using the 2 hooks just behing the rear seats (click here). I'd like to keep the sub box from moving around in the LGT. How have others secured a single sub box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandonhope16 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I have a box for one 12. B/c the box is carpeted and its weight there is some friction and resistence created between it and the carpet in the trunk, so I don't have it tied or srewed down. I just push towards the back corner of the trunk and it doesnt move. My brother is doing the same thing in his 2001 LGT, and his isnt going anywhere either.

mbacis Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I just have a bungee cord routed through the grille and handle on my sub, then hooked to the bottom of the rear deck. It keeps it in place, but I don't care for the ghetto look of it and it positions the sub somewhat in the middle, blocking the pass-through.

johnAWD Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Abandon - when you drive "spiritedly", does the sub stay put? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulderguy Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Nice amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandonhope16 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I've had that set up for about 2 months or so and I have never had to shift it back. I don't drive too aggresively, but over the course of those two months I know I have floored it and taken spirited drives on twisty roads. So far its worked pretty well, though I'm sure the type of carpet on the box makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I have a single 10" orion in a carpeted box positioned up against the seat back in the corner. I do drive "spirited" and it doesn't move, at all. If your carpet is too slick, just attach some of the rough half of velcro to the bottom. That should help create a little more friction. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Right on. The stock subwoofer is "ok", but I look forward to the JL/SoundStream combo again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Thanks - I've been a soundstream fan since the beginning of time. Nice amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbjr Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Anyone remember the original Lanzar amps? Anyways, yes, velco. Staple some strips to the box and stick it to the floor or the back of the seats if the box is angled. I forgot what I was supposed to remember.

LemoineGT Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yes. Lanzar had some interesting amps and subs. Interesting factoid, I had a Lanzar 10" sub once, and found that the woofer its self was actually identical to the sub in my home audio system (Ohm Walsh series) --Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Lanzar - I recall that name from when I used to get "Car Audio" magazine. Didn't they build some products with amazing output? Something you could do arc welding with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemoineGT Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Pretty close My friend had a nice amp.... could stealth all the inputs... was really first of its kind back then, then again... that's when Orion and Earthquake were still boomin loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
