how did you guys anchor your computers in the trunk?
I am probably going to finally install my system this weekend, but I need to know how you guys secured your pcs in the trunk. I know some of you used bungee cords, but I want to secure it by using something else so it doesn't look too ghetto (no offense to the guys who did you bungee cords)
thanks!

Mine is built into the glovebox. I'll get pics as soon as i can.
I put a small area of carpet down for a small amount of shock protection but mainly for the velcro on the computer side.
sticks pretty good.

I'll be using metal "L" brackets to secure the whole box. I have a sheet of 1/4" plywood in the back of the SUV that I secure all the amps, etc., to. I'll be simply using sheet metal or wood screws, I prefer sheet metal, to secure the L-brackets to the plywood.

In an accident it becomes a very heavy projectile that will go right through the rear seats.Originally posted by gizmomkr:

Best to anchor it somehow.
