I offer this word of caution about putting things into our cars that are not
permanently attached.
First, things like Speakers in boxes are high pilferage items. Thieves really
like them. I had a pair in a pickup a few years back
and they jimmied the door to get the speakers and left everything else intact.
Secondly (and more importantly), things that are not tied down become
projectiles in the event of a crash or sudden evasive action.
There is a former NFL player who is now in a wheelchair because his car hit a
light post and the speaker that was sitting behing him
came forward and struck him in the back of the head breaking his neck.
Just food for thought!
