duct tape ftw! actually if ur inclined enough, take out the speaker and if you drill 3 or four holes from the sub box through that cardboard thing in the trunk, it should hold it

either the above, or what i did is get a couple of small black L-brackets and bolted the boxdown. oh and previous to that i has pulled out the cardboard crap and replaced it with 1/4 inch plywood.

My rear strut bar has holes in it... I mounted my sub box to the holes. Quite simple.

And yeah, I'm working on getting a box so I can put my second sub in.

Do what i did and use L Brackets. I put one in the back of my sub inbetween the back seat and the sub and one on each side left and ride so it wont move back to back or side to side. Use small ones so there not noticable.

The best way ive found is industrial strength velcro. My sub just wont move!! just put a strip on both sides, the front and the back of the sub and this fixed mine down fine. And I payed all of £4 for the velcro and it took me 3 minutes to install! One tip though, Make sure you put it in the right spot first time! Otherwise taking it out can be a bit of a bitch...

Those little L brackets come in 1 2 3, maybe even 4 screw hole designs. They are sold at Lowes or Home Depot in the isle where you buy stuff like hinges and door handles, cabinetry handels, that sort of thing. They are like .99 for a set of 4 last time I bought some.

I use 2 on my box, on the bottom, 1 screw hole type. I replaced my deck too, with quarter inch particleboard cut to fit. Mounted it to them, hasn't moved since.
