Default How is everyone securing their amp racks?

I have an amp rack coming from Dennis in the next day or two for my '10 C6 GS, and I'm curious how everyone is securing their amp racks to the car?

It's one of the racks that sits in the cargo area behind the seats, just forward of the roof rack hooks, and I know you can't drill down to secure it because of the gas tanks... are people cutting out the carpet in the shape of the rack and using liquid nails to keep it down?

Looking for any suggestions, thanks for the help!

Pat

MDF and liquid nails here. I would put the MDF under the carpet and screw into the wood. I would not cut the carpet.

I have mine just sitting. It is a snug fit but seems to be fine. I track the car and as long as I am not upside down It should be fine. Notice there is no bottom.

How do you like the Audison amp? When mine was functional, it was a beast.

The sound is very good plenty of power for me. Wish I could change out the head unit.
