Stop Sub fom moving in trunk

So I finally wired my two amps and 12" single sub(qlogic box). but how the heck do I keep it all in place? I'm up at my college so I dont have many resouces but i'm listen'n to all opinions.
FYI- I would like to mount the amps vertical in the truck but also wanna keep the rear armrest hole

I used some wood and cut it in the shape (somewhat) of the trunk floor. Carpeted it, and then bolted the sub and amp to it. Could look better but it works pretty well.

Forgot to mention in my post, that's what I used to bolt it to the board.

You can always go directly into the floor, just be careful where you drill.

FYI - I bought a 18 inches bungee cord with hooks from Lowes/Home Depot and hooked it to the cargo net's round hook on my 2k02 (see side of the trunk). Luckily, my cheap sub box (Rockford) came with an area for the bungee cord to hook onto. My sub has been holding up nicely since. HTH.
