sub box is shifting....need to stabilize it

I need some suggestions on what to do, to keep my sub box from shifting in my trunk.

Its always moving around in there....when i take turns at a certain speed, it moves so much that my power wire disconnects from the sub box itself.

Any suggestions?

I already tried using this rubber type mat thing to keep rugs from slipping on hardwood floors, but its not working.

Where can I buy some professional series velcro?

Walmart????

I don't have an upper sturt bar, so that is out of the question.

or if you recently cut out a new wheel well cover out of 3/4 inch ply wood you could just bolt it down to that ....

Slow down?

Mounting to the rear upper strut is what I would do....as long as you have the room to do it.

L bracket. Bolt down one side to the box, other to the cardboard floor. If need be use some wasdher on either side on the carboard so it doens't break.

mine was velcroed down just on the enclosure..the carpet held the velco no problem, without applying anything to it....
i take some pretty good turns and it never shifted once..
