I have a somewhat heavy subwoofer in my trunk (about 30lbs). I have a "spirited" driving style, so I'm braking and accelerating more than most would. Due to that, my subwoofer moves around my trunk a lot and keeps hitting the back and sides. I took a look and it's not a question of the sub sliding on the mat, it's more the mat sliding on whatever is underneath (where the spare tire is, not sure what to call it).


Is there a way I could keep the mat from sliding around the trunk when I drive? Perhaps an aftermarket trunk mat or some kind of ghetto rubber underneath?

use staples or metal screws in the corners.

Maybe some rubber strip insulation would work. The kind with a sticky side. Place it on the board with the rubber side up so it grips the carpet.

Then how would I get out my spare tire if I ever need it?

I have a bracket that mounts to the trunk "ceiling" holding my sub box in place. It is spaced so that the sub box pins the mat down pretty well - no more sliding!

you could easily move it for the spare tire, if you took the mat out im sure you would better understand after analyzing it for a few minutes.

I took off the mat and cardboard, took out the spare tire and filled the hole with subwhoofer. i basically did it to save space and because i always had the same problem with the sliding. Taking off quick would always cause sub to pop off

Heavy duty velcro would be your best bet.

^I don't know if they make heavy enough duty velcro, though I suppose if they have stuff to hold people up they must. I have seen people use tie-down straps to secure their subwoofers, too.

I hate that stupid carpet in the trunk, after class my light sometimes heavy backpack is on it and sometimes I take exits at like 75 and when I got to get my backpack put. The carpet will be backwards and sideways lol, I gotta try that Velcro idea

The 3M stuff is great, I've used it to hold down a lot of things and once you put that stuff together its verrryyyy hard to get back apart, you could try some of that. I have the same problem and didn't feel like paying $300-400 just to get a custom fit sub box so I still haven't solved mine sliding around either.

Idk how many people want to put holes in the body of their car

Do you have any pictures of this bracket?

You can also try carpet tape, it's basically designed to hold carpet in place.

Do the edges up in two sided velcro, it should hold
