Looks GREAT! I hope you used spray on adhesive and NOT rubber cement. The secret to the spray on is to coat both surfaces and let is dry according to the directions on the can, THEN stick it.

i used spray adhesive, sprayed the box then the carpet, let both sides get tacky then stuck it together, originally was using a rolling pin, but that wouldnt get down to the bottom corners, so i started using a can of Beefaroni... that worked beautifully.. AND i got to eat it when i was done (the beefaroni.. not the sub box)

tone: i duno how u do it....but everytime i use the spray stuff it crystalizes after a year or 2. then it falls off, or bubbles.

Gotta use the RIGHT spray adhesive - either 3M Spray 90 or Permatex Body Shop HD Adhesive #27828 are what we use at the shop. Spray 77 will not handle the heat inside the car. I would not have thought rubber cement would do it.
And actually, when doing a box, glue is typically not needed if stretched and stapled correctly but whatever you did looks great.

Yeah, that's what I think. When I did mine I sprayed the adhesive on the carpet, waited a few minutes, then stretched it out, stuck it on, and stapled. Haven't had any issues in over 3 years.Originally Posted by Tone
So where is the box going to sit? It looks like you could put it behind the rear seats OR right behind the front seats. I'm thinking about building an raised floor / amp rack for the latter spot.
Calmini Cone Air Filter, PowerVault PV2 Muffler, OME Trooper Springs, Rancho RS9000X Shocks, 285/75R16 Nitto Grappler AT's, Pioneer DEH P8000R In-Dash CD, Amps and Drivers Built by Orion, Wires and Fuse Blocks by KnuKonceptz, Vibration Damping by BQuiet, Alarm System featuring Auto Start and Remote Windows, Yakima LoadWarrior w/Full Size Spare, Debadged/Custom Titanium Grill Logo, Tint (5% Rear / 20% Front), Steel Braided Brake Lines, G2 Painted Calipers

the original plan was to build the floor like you were talking about right behind the front seats, after looking closer, i realized the floor isnt even there, there is a random hump behind the drivers seat, and i also want my passenger side seat to be able to recline during road trips and hauling anything over 4 ft.... and it wouldnt with the false floor there, so its going to sit where the back seats used to, the box is small enough that it will leave me about 3 ft of cargo room behind it still, then create a smaller storage area in the footwell for the back seats.. im getting impatient so chances are ill be putting it in here in a couple of minutes, so ill take some photos
