How did you secure your sub box?

Ever since I installed my RSB and taking turns harder, the box has been shifts back and forth in the trunk. For those guys who has subs, how did you secure your box from moving around in the trunk?

I need some ideas.

btw, I got a 10" enclosed box. Pretty small.

Thanks in advance.

my box is heavy as hell, but the carpet would still slide around on me. I built a square box out of 1"x4" board and laid it down in front of the box and covered it with speaker box carpet.

My 12" box also shifts around, moving the trunk carpet with it.

While on the subject can anyone post a pic or two on their finished trunk? Need some ideas on where to put a couple of amps.

i used blandex (OSB if you wanna be technical..some people call it waferboard) and cut it to the shape of my 3rd gen trunk, cut out a 16x33 section as an access hatch to my spare tire well (for wires and such of course, no spare in there), and used 5 L brackets to hold my box with 2 10's in it in place..it goes no where..I did the same thing with my air tight auxillary battery box (vented to the outside of the car of course), and they both stay put
