really the easiest thing to do is buy L Brackets from home depot, lowes..ect.. Screw the bracket into the box and then into your carpet. That's what I did and it works good.. I put mine on the front of my box..but if u dont want it to be visible i suppose the back would work just fine.

The only true way to secure a box is to use nylon straps or something to that extent then attach the straps to your vehicle via bolts or some other direct connection with your vehicle. See if those L-brackets survive an accident over 20mph.

If you want something temporary just so it won't move around too much, use industrial velcro.

I use some industrial strength Velcro and the **** has been on there for a year and a half and the box has not moved an inch.

well in the past i have bolted my box the the floor as well as to the back seat bracing.

have also used plummers strap and the L brackets to the back seat.

surely would suk to have one of these massive new drivers come from the hatch or cargo area in an SUV and take your head off in an accident.

not to mention the box it is in.

this is the way to go.

I have 1 bracket on the back of my box and it holds it there real well. My subs are inverted too so that proves it works great.

someone also mentioned attaching the box to the metal using silicone. I figure this is a good idea too, since it can simply be cut should the need arise to move it.

could just put a rubber mat on the floor and place the box on that. temporary

fleet farm... tread.... i attached it to the box and it prevents it from sliding

may prevent it from sliding, but what if you get in an accident and go on your side or heaven forbid on your roof?

sub box is one hellova dangerous thing to have free roam in a vehicle.

espeically in a truck or hatch or suv.

still sux in a trunk but less chance of it causing too much damage.
