I screwed small brackets into the cardboard floor around my box. It doesn't move around much.

velcro holds pretty good if you don't haul *** around every corner

heres what my friend did...on the back of the sub box he put on 3 loop type hooks on the back of his subbox than he got a black rope/bungeecoard of some sort which u could barely see and tied it down to the rear panel above the sub box where the stock speakers sit...and it doesnt move at all and if he wants to move it he just un ties/hooks it and bam there u have it

I just made the box big enough to span with width of the trunk and put my amp on it no problems.

Carpet Tack Strips on the bottom. They sell them at your local Home Depot for $1 each. One side goes into the box, the other sticks to the carpet.

Replace the cardboar crap floor with MDF. Unload (remove the sub) from teh box. Screw it to the floor through the bottom of the box from the inside. Reload sub box. If you don't want to do that, still replace the trunk floor then use L-brackets.

this is very interesting! im also annoyed by the fact that it always move around..

i ended up using the anti slip pad......big one....bought from wal-mart..

i put it underneath the carpet.......however, if i made sharp cornering, it'll still move around a bit.....

what is MDF?

Medium Density Fiberboard. The same thing your sub box is constructed of (most likely).
