But I wanna do this car properly so my question is:How do I put my MDF box in the car securely and preferably without doing any permananent damage.

03/07/08 10:25 PM03/07/08 10:25 PM #5 For a more permanent fix you can also remove the sub from the box and drill 2 long self taper screws through the inside of the box into the floor.This will slow down thieves and in an accident it wont be a problem.Make sure there is no lines or fuel tank!

Don't wanna drill holes because it only leads to more problems of some kind.Do you guys have a problem with carpet getting pulled every which way in your cars? Do you buy both sides of the velcro or does a particular side stick naturally to the boot carpet?How did you stick your velcro to the carpet in the car?Cheers guys

Only a thought but it seems to work well for me.
