in a P5, sub mobility.
i'm thinking about getting a sub added to my car. just a little 10" in a box in the hatch.
anyway, just curious if anyone's come up with a slick way of securing the box, yet still have relative ease to remove it temporarily if you need the full cargo space. all i can think of is L-brackets.
thanks.

just put the coarse side on the box, and you might not need to put any on the carpet. i've used velcro for amps mainly, but also a few sub boxes. just nothing to big and tall

the box looks to be about 12"x12"x10". the sub would be an alpine SWE-1041. i know i know. small potatoes but it's all i need. hell, i don't even need a sub but this deal popped up with a little T130 and i can't resist.
anyway, thanks for the suggestions. velcro would be a swell solution. i'll just have too see once i get a good look at the box etc.

in the P-5 and wanting to keep removability....the velcro works like a champ....but for a LITTLE more secure box...the strap would work nicely....if you look at the back of your rear seats...there is a ring on each side to hook to.

One thing to watch out for with temporary installs is insurance. Knock on wood, hopefully nobody has to find out either way, but I know that the local insurance ***** will only cover stolen stereo equipment if it's bolted to the chassis. I had a friend who had a changer velcro'd to the back of his rear seat & they wouldn't replace it. Kinda makes sense though, make it too easy for a thief to steal it.
