Default Best Method to Anchor Subwoofer Box to Rear Storage area?

What is the material in the rear deck? Fiberglass? Can it take a threaded screw?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What is the best way to anchor a carpeted subwoofer box to the rear storage area?

With a supercharger & T1 springs & anti-sway bars, I want to be confident this heavy box stays put...

I've grown tired of the Stealth Box, and wound up deciding on a Sound Ordnance box with a 12" Kicker cvx.

Thanks!

Attach 3/4 MDF with Liquid nails, use metal L brackets.

C6's should be sheet metal.

An epoxy type glue would probably work better than liquid nails, IMO, if you want to attach something to the rear deck area. I have not been as fond of liquid nails as I use to be. There are definitely better adhesive products out there than LN.

I used a combo of liquid nails on the inside of the MDF and then a Loctite general purpose adhesive (like a super glue almost) around the outer edge. That sucker doesn't budge. I drill through the inside of my box with some screws down into the MDF from above. Just make sure your screw length is the right length...don't want to go through the bottom MDF panel. Install the sub...no visible hardware anywhere.
