Default Fiberglass enclosures

Hey sorry i didn't find a thread for this so this was my best place to go.

i have a question that is really getting to me cause i'm not sure how to do it. the question is when you make the fiberglass boxes that sit on the side in the trunk how the hell do you mount those things so when you turn really quick they just don't fly out of the spot thay are in?

thanx

Typically you screw them to a mounting point on the car by reaching through the speaker hole...then obviously put the speaker in the box.

Yes, you'll probably have to be creative here. In some cases, you can use a high adhesive bonding agent to attach a small piece of MDF or other type of mounting bracket to your car trunk's interior (metal). Use your best judgement. Building cars and car audio systems challenge your creative skills! Have fun!

Yeah the tv show never show the hours of fitting that go into custom enclosuers. Before you make the enclosure take ur base board and cut to size then make ur mounting brakets fit it up then make ur enclosure it saves a lot of headache since u only have a piece of wood and not a whole enclosure to try and fit.
