How to Put Subs in a Car
Installing sub-woofers in your car is something that must be done correctly so that the sub-woofer won't slide around while you are driving and cause damage to the sub, amp or other property in your trunk. The sub-woofer box will be mounted to the metal frame of the car trunk to ensure that the box doesn't move. You're going to need a few basic tools and components that you can pick up at your local hardware store.

Tips & Warnings
Every car is different, so you will need to get under the car's trunk and make sure that when you drill the holes into the frame, you don't hit or damage a component on the underside of the car like the gas tank, wires or hoses.
