Yes drill through the floor... how to you think people fit tow bars to most cars??

I stuck my sub down to the floor on my last fiesta. Although it would be better to bolt it down IMO. Or make a false floor.

make a false mdf floor or part of a floor to hold it in that way you dont have to drill in to the boot

Yeah that's the easiest option if you have a jigsaw.
Just get a sheet of mdf preferably 19-25mm thick.
Use your carpet as a guide and mark it out.
Cut it.
Bobs your uncle.
Now you could either bolt your sub to the false floor, or put your sub on it where you want, draw around it and cut.

stick the carpet down with spray glue (buy from halfords for few quid), theres nothing under the carpet so you should never need to take it out again, the sub wont slide on the carpet is its stuck.

Mines pretty much heavy enough to hold itself down.

Although, i have a small block of wood raising the subs up, which gets caught on a ridge in the boot. So it doesn't move anyway.

mdf floor for me (dont like drilling through the boot floors) and i then added a smaller bit mdf screwed along one side and in front (all carpeted) to hold the bottom and i then used 6 heavy duty velcro pads stuck on the rear seat that grip the fabric of the box. not had mine move even with the rock hard suspension :lol:
