Add some bottom weight to my sub box?

[HockeyStud852]

Alright, I built my own box and I guess it turns out that its too top heavy. I want to add some weight to the bottom front corners because it always seems to fall backwards if I take off too fast and such. So I wanted to seem what everyone thought I should put in thats heavy enough and wont be too big to take up a lot of airspace. I'll end up putting some that cotton fluff in there to make up for some of the lost space... So any ideas?

Yeah bolt the box down to the floor, or tie it down using tie straps. Having that box back there sliding around can kill you or others in an accident.
You can add simple hardware to the sides of the box and use straps to hold it down to your cargo hold down hooks.

Adding weight to the box for stability is not the right way to do this, it will tax the suspension more, increase fuel consumption and ruin the interior volume of the box you built.

go and buy four L shaped brackets and put two at each side. not too big. and they wont look bad. the box wont move. or just do like me and get a box big enough where it cant slide around because it goes from the rear hatch to the back of the back seat and from wheel well to wheel well he he.

I had mine with L brackets also and Torx bolts to keep someone from ripping it out. Never moved.

I have a 12x12x12 box qwith a single 2 ohm 12 in it. I used to go big but needed the cargo space for trips/wheeling. So I have a small box with handles on it UI can move around inside the truck. I strap it down to the floor with a ratcheting tie strap, it works excellent.

if you go to bolt it make sure you dont drill into the gas tank!!! ive saw it happen.
