    occy straps, loop and hook (valcro) strips, screw it into the spare wheel cover thing (model dependent of course).

    Screw the sub into the bonnet???

    I use Velcro and the thing never moves, just get the heavy duty stuff. It's good because you don't need to put holes and can take the thing out whenever you like.

    i used two brackets, two screws and two bolts... total cost, bout 3 dollars.
    Just screw the brackets into the bottom of the sub box and then drill a hole into the metal behind the seats and then bolt them to that piece of metal. mine has not moved one inch since i have done it and they are easy to remove by just undoing the nuts. i should probably do a how to if anyone is interested
    I like my music loud and my women quiet. So sit in the back and shut up!
