What would be the best way to hold down the box inside the trunk of my Cavalier. Would puttin the box all the way to the back of the trunk, and placing a board in front of the box so it does not move work? Or would I be best off to screw it down somehow? Thank you in advance!

If you want to maintain stock condition (some day... heh) then you can use Liquid Nails to adhere a board across as a 'stringer' and then screw your box into the board... I mounted a disc changer like this and it has been awesome ever since. Of course sub boxes, etc., weigh more than disc changers... heh.... the concept is the same though -- it IS solid.

or... go nuts and weld brackets to the frame and THEN screw it.

Iggster- I myself would just use some long sheet rock screws, paint it where it comes threw at and call her good. But if you don't want to do that then I would make an amp rack that sat in front of your sub box. The amp rack could be as simple as just a piece of MDF with a couple of 2" wide strips of MDF screwed to the bottom. Then just run all your wires under it. Just make the width of the amp rack the distance from the back of your trunk to the sub box. Secures your box from moving around and at the same time kind of customize up your install a bit. Nothing drastic, just to the point clean and would keep your enclosure from moving around.

Just use some scotch tape Iggster... they make double sided scotch tape..if you can't find it..then you can just loop it around itself and use it that way.. You might need a lot of it though hehehehhe....
Actually, I've seen people cut a little slit in the carpet of the box and in the carpet of the car and use an "L" bracket to attach it to the car body or to a piece of MDF attached to the car body..... Very secure..and very stealth.. A would be thief would need a Few extra seconds to figure out how it was attached...and those seconds make all the difference in crime...
Good luck with the tape!

Here's an idea for you- Attach some large velcro strips to the bottom of your box so it will stick to the carpet in your trunk floor. Slide it in with paper or something covering it so it will be easier to position. No drilling, no glueing (sp?), you retain your stock trunk that way.
