Can you drill a hole in your car, wheel well, stut tower, rear deck?

I have been installing for 12 years and I have made good friends with "pressure Fit" and hood pin brackets Along with Velcro and nuts and bolts to name a few.

I'd say if you can remove the sub and drill a hole into the floor of the trunk or from under the car and into the enclosure it would be your best bet.

Can you send me a picture of that, it might help me figure out a mounting point for ya, FirstnBass@aol.com good luck

I'm not a professional installer... but I have a 13 second 4x4 SUV with an enclosure in the rear that definitely weighs more that 100 lbs that is secured with industrial strength velcro.

You can buy it from Wal Mart... it's in one of the aisles in the fabric/sewing section... I seriously wouldn't use anything else.

I've also secured several of the billet grills I have on the exterior of the vehicle with it also.

I agree with using strong good quality velcro, but alot of people are afraid of using it because they think its too weak. The industrial strength stuff will hold very well to prety much anything. If you cant use screws or bolts, then your prety much left with velcro.

Heck, I use it even on applications where I could have used screws or bolts.
