Need quick help with my sub.
I put a 10" infinity sub and a audiobahn amp in the trunk of my RS using a wal-mart box. Not the best ever, but still pretty darn load for only 200w. Anyway, the box fits really nice in the corner, and I didn't mount it to anything. The box is just sitting there. I can't tell but I think it is rattling some when I crank it up. And I took a turn a little fast today and it all rolled over to the other side of the trunk. So how should I mount it? Just drill into the floor? Is there some way to strap it in maybe? If I could undo and move it that would be great when I need the trunk space. And should I get some kind of padding or sound instalation underneath? Sorry for all the dumb questions, my first time doing this.

I've never tried it, but maybe some industrial-strength velcro mounted to the trunk and the bottom of the enclosure? Not sure if that would stop rattling, but it would definitely keep the box from rolling around... Have to admit, I'd probably just bolt it down, though.

industrial-strength velcro is the easiest way but wont always hold perfectly. You need to put a bunch of strips on the bottom and some on the back where it contacts the back seat.

There are 2 approaches to this. You can very well do what SlickmisterN said and get some velcrow, but if the RS's trunk mat is any thing like the STi's it will still slide even with velcrow. You can get mounting brackets which you drill into the trunk floor and that would make sure the box would not move what so ever. But that is a pain if you want to acces anything from underneath the box. possibly removing the thin layer of carpet and putting down a rubber mat of some sort would seem the easiest.
