I need to anchor my box

[some dude]

I have a 99 Toyota Avalon. In the trunk is a box that takes up most of the space. 2 12s facing rearward.
I currently have my rear seat out so easier to mess with the rear of the box.

I was thinking metal 90* brackets bolted/ screwed into the metal of the car.

What do you all do / suggest?

I always make a False floor out of 1/2"-1" Plywood and cover with same color carpeting/or use speaker carpet. Screw that down to the trunk floor(use the existing cardboard floor insert as a templet to make). I then have the Subs removed and on the inside of the enclosure I use screws and washers to secure the enclosure to the Plywood, and hit each screw with a dab of Silicone. put subs back in and the enclosure is secure and can not be unscrewed from the outside to be removed by thieves. It will have to be pried out. And best of all... no ugly azzed L-brackets to look at when you look at everything. You may want to find another spot for your spare tire doing it this way. If you have road side assistance for the spare tire changes, I wouldnt worry too much about it

OK, thanks for the input. It's giving me ideas.

My folks bought the car brand new. I got it when they upgraded. It has 267k on it. Burns no oil and gets 27 mpg in the summer. It's a grampa car but it's comfortable, large, and reliable.

We had an Avalon, that had 285,000 miles on it when it was stolen in D.C. It was still running like a new car. Good cars.

I used a Metra adapter to connect my subwoofer to the battery...it helps the decibels flow freely from the battery

I'm losing brain cells reading this. Screw the battery, just strip an extension cord, hook it directly to your subwoofer and plug it in. Gives you a nice 40hz tone.

60hz actually.....
