My #!&*#! sub doesn't stop moving around the trunk!

I need to have my SUB centered in the rear of my trunk (so that I can see it from the backseat opening. The thing is that it doesn't stop moving around when I'm driving... Any tips on how I can make it stay in place?

Thanks,

MontrealCL

With brackets? I don't know if that's the type of installation I want to do in my trunk... I remove my sub once in a while (when I need the space), so bolting and unbolting it would be too time consuming.

I was thinking of maybe getting a piece of wood the width of my trunk and bolt the sub to the piece of wood, that way I could remove everything together... And it shouldn't move aroud...

Any comments?

Put a sheet of soft rubber under the sub box so it doesn't slide. like the kid you put under carpet or table matts

2 words...Vel & Cro

Matches the trunk area also, almost invisible.

Even a few small pieces will hold a big sub enclosure. I use it to steady my toolbox when I put it in the trunk.

The solution for my old sub setup was a trip to the local dollar store

I picked up some of this real thin stuff that is sold in many colors, its sold in a roll and its like non slip or something. I cut it in half and put half under each side of the sub and it never moved again. The greatest part is that it is in now way permanent
