Default need help with ideas how to secure my sub box!

When I take the hardtop off the jeep I usually disconnect the subwoofers totally and put them in the house because a thief could snatch them in like 4 seconds... I want to leave them in when I have the top off and need some ideas on how to mount them/secure them... I live in a pretty safe place in Utah but I need to secure these just enough so they can't be snatched easily. Here's a pic of the setup. Thanks for the help!

U can use heavy duty velcro. Just ruff side it will stick to carpet. Use to do that in trunks of cars. That way it can be taking out if need be.

My bad.. I missed the part about snatched easily. Besides that nothing is safe in a jeep.


U could use small L brackets.

Bolt them to the body through the inside and seal around the bolts?? I am having my tub Line-Xed and am going to Line-X my sub enclosure as well, so my box will look like it's part of the body. Should be done in the next week or so. Although it would be a much more expensive option I can take some pictures to show you once it's done.

L brackets bolted to the body
Cover that you can velcro to the box and remove when you want. Keeps the subs from advertising themselves to the thieves.


Also if you like the bass when you remove the top, make em down firing... helps tons. Plus you can make the box look like some simple storage bin and it will be overlooked by the electronics thieves.

Not only creates a protective cage that they can't lift my sub box up out of when the top is off but adds twice the storage space as before

Doesn't keep someone from folding the back seats down and taking the subs though does it?
