Securing sub box

What are you guys doing to secure your sub box behind the rear seats? I'm just in the process of installing my box and was wondering the tested method to bolt this puppy down.

Thanks

Mine is definitely for function over looks... I bought a 24" rubber bungee cord from home depot for $2.50, put it behind the rear seat (there is a place you can latch at an angle) and one of the pre-installed screw downs. Again... not for sure, but it's serves it's purpose and I don't find myself showing off the trunk too often.

I know I probably shouldn't be doing this but I use velcro, the side that have the bristles. I have the bristle part facing down from the box to dig into the carpet to keep it from moving. Never had a problem yet.

I built a floor from MDF that is bolted/screwed directly to the trunk. Amp rack, sub and CarPC, wiring, etc are bolted onto this. No shakes, bumps or other noises.

Could you post up a pic for your set up? I think I should do something good for my ride since I'm going to keep it for a while.
