People with subs

How do you keep that thing from moving? My sub moves around so much it becomes disconnected.

I mean subs in a trunk.

Hey...I am having the same problem....I tried velcro but as you said it still slides all over the place. I am getting so frustrated I am ready to take them out. One turn and the box is in the corner.

May be a dumb question....but, If i bolt it down is there anything I need to worry about such as the fuel tank under the trunk?

Most people I know bolt or screw sub boxes into the floor of the trunk...the carpeted board that sits over the spare. If you have it against the back seat and bolted to that board, I think it's pretty secure.
