For my deck, I put a ton of adhesive-backed closed-cell foam strip all over every contact point on the rear deck and it doesn’t move. I also have my 12” box braced against the bottom of the deck with an expansion-bolt-foot stay so it shakes the car harder/tighter. No rattle. If I ever pull it open I’ll redo it all (probably) and take a pic.

I now only buy parts at Rock Auto or an actual store that sells online. I just wanted to let it be known because I notice that NGK products are being used more often then in the past. One person that recieved a knock off spark plug recieved one that fits a Honda. He notified NGK corporation and they told him what codes to look out for and they have recieved other calls about it.

It both holds the box down (without any drilling) and amplifies its power through the rear deck and body. Not an expert... but on some reverb tracks the whole car hums so nice my that neck tingles. Can’t wait for the 2x W7 upgrade O_o

The stock body computer will tell the door ECUs to fold the mirrors when pin 7 is grounded, so I hooked that up through a factory switch and magically everything worked.
