097) Secure Subwoofer

Optionally secure Subwoofer in trunk. I used (3) two-sided Velcro strips (8 x 2 inches) to secure the subwoofer to the carpet. I also added a 2-headed slide bolt running from a Screw-Eye (drilled into the Subwoofer case) to a hard-point bracket near the rear transom floor. I believe this bracket is used for straps to secure a sun-roof panel in the trunk. My car has no sun-roof. If you have a sun-roof you may need to use a different position, or securing method, for the Subwoofer. I added the slide-bolt solely to keep the Subwoofer from coming loose in a collision. The Velcro holds it securely in place otherwise. NOTE: I was actually motivated to install the slide-bolt in an attempt to pass tech inspections at local Autocross events. I did not want to remove the sub in order to compete. I passed just fine at PCA events. I haven't tried SCCA Solo II events yet with this setup. In my experience their inspectors usually frown on anything creative - especially so on Porsches or Corvettes!
