Installing onto top of Engine - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I have sat with my new subwoofer for 2 weeks now. I love it behind my seat. It is sitting on top of the space above the engine. I need to mount it with the kit the speaker came with. Can I screw it right into the carpet ontop of the engine. What is underneath that. Is there any wood. Does anyone have a better suggestion of how to mount the speaker so it does not shift and stay put incase I am in a accident. If not the speaker might catapult into the back of my head or out into the air if the top is down.
thanks

I don't think there is much wood in your car dude! It's a freaking Porsche, not an ark!

Hi,

What you're looking to do is doable. Just put the top in the Service position and remove the Engine cover. Then I suspect that some good Nuts & Bolts, along with 2" Fender Washers would do the trick. Hope this helps...

You got a Porsche, and its made to go fast. Its not a "subs'n dubs" ride.

Hey maybe you could try to velcro it to the carpet! That way you will not have to screw anything into your car.

Hi,
I though of using velcro. But I am still concerned if I am in a accident going even 40mphs that the sub will end up through the back of my head. I would like to brace it down

You should be able to bolt it to the engine cover as said, useing a large area washer(fender washer).
I'm curious, with the sub back their you can put the top up and down?
