How to secure amp rack in vert trunk?

[robrez]

I have a powered sub and amp mounted to an MDF board and I want to secure it to the back wall of my vert. But I don't want to drill holes through the trunk. Can I have some recommendations on different ways to hold the amp/sub rack in place? Thanks in advance.

With the trunk carpet in place? I in the past have made the MDF a tight fit, and wrapped it in carpet so it becomes wedged in place. I also have used liquid nails on the rear of a pickup truck cab, that was semi-permanent. I actually used the back of the cab, as a wall for the speaker cabinet. When I sold that truck, I was able to remove the cabinet, and the back cab wall did clean up well.

^^^ Thanks, yeah, the trunk floor carpet is in place, and the board sits on top of it. It's wedged pretty good, but I'd feel better if it was secured somehow. Liquid nails are an option but it will be messy if I ever want to remove the MDF board.

May also be able to make a new wood floor for the truck, with a hinge to access the tire, the attach the rack to that. Would give you a firm floor, and an attached amp rack. I did that once and used a piano hinge for tire access.

^^^ Thanks again. I can still access by spare tire, so I don't need to do anything that involved.

you could use apoxy to glue the board to the back wall.

IMHO, Nothing's going to work better and give more peace of mind then 4 short sheet metal screws. One at each corner of the board. Bumps, pot holes, god forbid any types of collision. Simple secure and easy. No brain tease here. It is what it is.

vert rears are double walled and you cant get into the inside to do that.
