Default Sub Box

Hey All,

i have an 05 STi, and i have NO idea how to fix the sub box so it doesn't fly around in my boot!

previously i have just put some valcro under the box and sit it on the boot carpet, however in the STi the carpet in the boot is loose and just flys around in the boot with the sub lol

so ideas?

by the way im not really keen on bolting into the actual flooring of the car or custom install e.g. fiberglassing

Thanks!

Couldnt you use some self adhesive velcro to hold the carpet in place, and then do the same to hold sub in position?

but where would i glue it? cause it will look kinda funny with no carpet in the boot lol

hmm seat fames, could be an idea but its a pretty heavy sub/sub box, the frames wont get bent or anything will it?
