How do you plan on tying it down? I have a similar setup, but still couldn't figure out a (portable) way to strap down the sub and still make it easily removable for the occasional Home Depot runs.

I see that you have a passport hard wired. Where did you get the power source from? I have a new passport and was considering hard wireing it.

ignition switch so it turns on and off with the car.... Alot of people hardwire it to the homelink which puts too much strain on that power source.

I have a Rubber cargo floor mat so the sub doesnt move at all. The sub is also prett damn heavy so that helps.

I sounds amazing, with my bass nob i can turn it down for easy listening, but also i can turn it way up when i want to wake up the neighbors at night.

It's not the sub moving around that I'm worry about...I know that heavy sucker will stay put in normal driving condition. It's that 70lb flying object that worries me more in the unfortunate event of an accident.

I think this bungee cord mod should hold the sub in the unfortunate event.

the sub/box is too big to fit between the top of the rear seats and the headliner...so theres really now way it can harm anyone, I think ill take my chances. Im more likely to go tone death from the thing by playing it too loud.

Thanks for the link I'll try rigging up something similar for the sub.

Is the rubber mat in your cargo area an OEM item? If so, how much is it? I'd like to get something similar...
