Default To all you with big sub boxes in your trunks... (edited)
A few questions and issues I have:

How did you secure it? Did you go for permanent, with bolts? I don't like that too much b/c if I need the trunk space, won't it be a PITA to remove the bolts to get it out? (for putting suitcases, and stuff in the trunk)

Would velcro work? How about some sort of a system where it would click into place, but be removable? THAT would be ideal!

Also, I heard that insurance won't cover theft if it wasn't bolted down. A concern?

Thanks for your help!

Default It never slid around on hard corners? By big, I mean 1'x1.5'x1'. RE: Insurance
I heard they won't cover theft if it ain't bolted down. Concern?

thats a tad ghetto, but if it works and you are cool with it I guess ok.

Default no concern... no it didn't slide around...
depends on how much velcro you actually use though. I've taken the sub box during AutoX events as well...

VELCRO! Use two rough sides and use them to hold the Sub to the Floor
