Put down some 3/4" or even 1/2" MDF and bolt it to the car. After that, attach the box to the floor using some L brackets. Industrial velcro will also help but it may not hold up under crazy driving.

Bolt your box right down to the chassis, my friend did it and it was killer.

Or try plummers tape.

your audio shop is prolly cheap. Run down to your local hardware store, pick up some heavy duty L brackets. those should work better than anything

L brackets in the floor SHOULD work fine. Put some velcro on the bottom and it would help a little prolly. Also if you can get the box up against a wall of the trunk/cab that will brace it a little more too. Just make sure when drilling into your floor you dont hit the gas tank or anything else important under the car.

There is no way in hell L brackets could break from driving unless they were extremely thin or they were not connected well to something. Doing what I said will keep if from moving around if you do it right. If you can bolt it straight to the car, do that.

velcro, tie down straps, thru-bolts on the box, fill the other area around the back of your vehicle with crap so theres no room to move, disgusting amount of duct tape...
