You have not rolled your vette.
Locate a safe place in the floor to pop some holes. Drill through box and floor. Insert bolts and nuts. Tighten. This is merely one example of course, im sure you can some up with some idea for fastening your box to your car. If you need further help, post some pics.

remove the speakers and run bolts down to the chassis through the inside of the box, then reconnect everything.

Not much of a do-it-yourself'er are you? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Your question is application specific. Just screw or bolt (preferrably bolt) the thing down. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

how would i be able to get the bolt on....i cant get to the bottom of a vette too compact...i like to do it myself...built my box did my whole install...not much to say but im proud lol

Well worst case scenario is use some (substantial) L-brackets on the outside of the box, to the floor.

ok...would that help with vibration transfer

 

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

Yes. Anything that would hold it rigid to the chassis will help.

but still what about the carpet...do u cut it out or does it not matter just being tight on chassis is what the trick is

i have another question too...using terminals do they decrease power in any way

 

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

If you bolt it down the pressure should squeeze the carpet pretty tight. yes removing any carpet between the box and chassi would improve things as well, but most people aren't willing to cut a square out of their floor carpeting for this relatively small improvement.

That's a very generic question, but any mechanical connections in the wire will add resistance to the circuit. Resistance steals power. However so long as you use quality connectors, and do not get carried away using multiple ones (like to link wire together like some cheap-*** would do) then it probably would cause any noticeable effect on performance.
