Re: securing the sub
Fine fine fine I don't need 5 people telling me I only assumed it would fail as with holes on the floorpan of the car - but as one guy said earlier "most people wont notice". That I don't like, finding a car you think is perfect to find it has 4 holes in the boot floor letting in spray and noise. Its the same fcukers who sell cars with rusty undercarriages - "oh they'll find out eventually when I've got the money and scarpered".

Re: securing the sub
Please dont take this wrong as im not being a dick about it, but why do you see couple of tiny holes in the boot floor a big problem? Especially if they been painted/sealed. Even if they havent been filled i cant see much water finding its way up past the spare and getting blown up a hole that is probably no bigger that 3mm

Personally I don't make it a big problem, but people who want an unmolested car will start to wonder why there are holes in the floor, thats all.

Re: securing the sub
ever removed a towbar?? that leaves holes bigger than an experienced she-giant's love chasm! screw holes are nothing in comparison! but its not really the sort of thing you point out when selling a car because its no big deal, and its up to the buyer to check a vehicle thoroughly too when inspecting it.

Nope, so that makes the rest of the post invalid really.

Oh yes I know. Why can't people see that I understand now?? I don't need telling that its not a big problem, as I've said here:

lol! I know. I just don't know why people can't read back over the thread instead of 4 people telling me the same thing haha.
When drilling holes though make sure they are painted to avoid rust.

Re: securing the sub
................and always remember that when you drill holes in the boot, to avoid rust, make sure you paint it afterwards

Re: securing the sub
No carpet in mine at all. I've got one of those super-grip rubber matts. Found the last one in Lidl for £2.99. Fitted perfectly into the boot. Has enough grip to stay in place, i just taped it down around the edges to make it look neet. Really grippy, so there's no need to bolt down or screw down a sub.
