Even if you were to drill into the sheet metal wouldnt you want to use a bolt and not a screw? Excessive vibrations can cause the screw to back out as well as inertial forces pulling on the box in heavy cornering might cause the screw to pull out of the hole and strip out.

good point but my two 12'' L7's banged pretty hard, and i drive like a maniac ...never loosened my screws on my L brackets

just make sure you check beneath where you are drilling. lift up the trunk carpeting to see if anything is beneath it and the sheet metal. then check below the sheet metal of where u are drillling...its the same concept of drilling a ground into ure chassis
