Help With Box Mounting

I have a 4th gen and I need to figure out a way to mount my box so that it stays in place. I currently have the box velcro'd on the carpet, and the carpet velcro'd to the car, but the carpet doesn't hold to the car. When I first put in the velcro on the carpet/car it held fine, but after a few days of hard turns it deattached from the car. Any ideas on what I can do? I want to still be able to get to my spare, the velcro would've been perfect for unattaching and just moving the box to the side. Any other ideas?

Here's my setup:




I used the "industrial strength" velcro and put it in almost every corner.

I had a box similar to that, and I removed the plastic there behind the back seat and pushed the box up to that (this requires a slanted box) and screwed the sub box into the back seat.

I bolted my box to my strut bar.

Most just get some angle brakets and screw the box to the floor.

You could probably do this like I did. I made custom brackets out of some aluminum stock from Home Depot...

...then bolted the box down using factory bolt points.




Now I have a IB set-up. No box in trunk ===> FTW!

NismoPC, thanks for the idea. I'm doing that. Do those bolts have a torque spec that you're aware of or do you just go by feel?

They probably have a torque spec, but I did it by feel. Actually one of them was already somewhat looser than I expected, so I am pretty sure I tightened them up more than they were.
