Default How to secure sub box in trunk

Ok, I have two alpine 10in subs in a rectangular generic closed box. I was wondering how to secure it so that it isn't rolling all over the place in my trunk.

I have a 1987 Mustang GT hatch.

consider some simple L-brackets screwed into the trunk floor or take the woofers out, put screws in the floor of the box into the trunk floor. Be sure to use short screws and check to see what you are drilling into, and what is under it.

if you have carpet lining on the trunk floor you could use velcro strips.
