Trunk Question

Is there a best way to secure your sub box down in the trunk? I would like to bolt it down, but I have always had this phobia that I was going to drill into my gas tank (or something else important)... Anyone have any tips on how they have their box secured? I would appreciate them. Thanks

90 degree flat edged galvenized elbows for building houses...they work really well.

I have two in the front, two side, and two rear

My subs don't move at all

EDIT: you can use any size screw with a special head to secure it. Use 3/4" length and you'll be fine.

K I just wanted to make sure there is nothing important directly under the trunk to drill into.
