Sub box keeps moving

I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue where my sub box in the trunck keeps sliding around. Does anyone have a solution that is simple but effective. I do not want to put any holes in the box or the car (I will if I must , but do not want to), any ideas? Pictures would be great if you do have an idea or a solution to this problem.

Go to Home Depot and get the best Velcro they have. Cover the entire bottom of your box with it and then the trunk where your box sits. Voila no more sliding box. I did this in my Explorer before I had the CL-S worked great.

best way is to flatten out your trunk with mdf and screw it down, but the easy solution is getting the industrial strength velco like said above

like other ppl sed...... go to home depot and get sum velcro. i believe its the industrial size one. dont even need to put it on the whole bottom of box, i only put 2 pieces on (left and right side) and the thing never moves, best solution imo cuz it aint permanent

And to clarify….You only need to use the “hook” side of the Velcro on the box.
It will grab onto the “fuzzy carpet” of the trunk really well.
I bought about 24” of the 1” wide strip variety and attached it strategically in a few spots to the box with a staple gun.

And to think, I could have used velcro when I bolted mine in place with a custom bracket.

JK, velcro would not have worked for me as it would still have moved a little hitting the seat frame.
