mounting MTX RT8PT Road Thunder subwoofer

Hi all, I recently purchased a MTX Road thunder amplified subwoofer for my 2009 G37S Coupe. Had it installed last week and it sounds fantastic. Works perfectly with the stock Bose system, gives plenty of deep bass without being too much. You can actually control the volume with ease. My question is about securing this puppy. Any suggestions how I can secure this to keep it from moving around or worse in case of an accident? Don't really want to drill into anything, but figured I would ask the experts here for some suggestions. Bought some industrial strenght velcro, but didn't really do the trick. Any ideas?

I put "L" brackets on my box and slid them onto a bolt mounted to the floor board.

Great idea. I just added a RF 10 inch powered sub and it's not sitting securely in the trunk. I'll try this.

Do you happen to have any photos? I couldn't find anywhere to mount to the frame.

Honestly, now that I look at the sub enclosure...the easiest way to do this would be to find a way to mount some sort of fastener to the floor board in the trunk. Once you mount 2 of them, you can fasten a rope/chain/wire to the fasteners and around the top of the enclosure. I hope that makes sense...

I would get a piece of MDF or plywood cut out to the shape of the trunk floor and have it carpeted to match the trunk and then you could mount to it and easily remove the whole think when needed... you can also remove the sub and drill holes from the bottom of the board thru the sub and nut and bolt it together for a stealth look...
