Mark the Area
Before you do anything, it is best to mark the area where the subwoofer box will be placed. This can help in terms of symmetry and making sure that the box is not too close to any object in your trunk.
Secure Box with Tape or Fastening Strips
Once you have marked the area, take some strong fastening strips or tape and secure the subwoofer box in place. Make sure that it is tight against the car so that there is minimal or no movement.
While securing, make sure you keep enough clearance around the box so that it can breathe and there is no build-up of heat.
You can attach the adhesive strips to the bare wood or fiberglass-made subwoofer boxes. But the boxes are mostly come covered with some sort of cloth or carpets, which may need to be cut according to the size of the strips for securing the box perfectly in the vehicle.
Test it Out
Now, give the box a good test to see if it’s secure. Try to move it around and see if it budges at all. If everything seems good, then you are ready to go!
If not, make some adjustments until you are happy with the results.

Test It Out
Again, give it a good test to make sure everything is still secure before hitting the road!
