Bazooka or Sub Mounting Solution?

I had a sealed box enclosure before that I use to use the rear upright seat lock, and the bottom cargo tie down, with bungee cords to hold my set up.

I just recently replaced my old 12" sub, with a 8" bazooka. The mounts dont look like itll hold it too well, since I do not want to drill into my floorpan.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to hold down a subwoofer, preferably a bazooka? Thanks

Get some black straps (like backpack straps) from a out-door supplyer even wally world can work and wrap it arround the tube of the sub ( the tie downs are usually used for attaching a rolled sleaping bag to a backpack) Then get some strong velcro (if you cant loop the strap through a mount or so) and velcro it down. Did this with a cheap bazooka in my delivery truck when I did furniture deliveries and it worked fine. Come in an assortment of colors and are more secure than bungees

Cut out small board (paint or cover in carpet) the size of bazooka, use their provided strap mounting bracket, and mount sub with straps...that way you do not have to drill into any part of car, and it will be held down and not roll over.....you may also put a reusable clip to hold the wires to the board they they dont get pulled out..

i believe they still do come with straps and its bases. you screw down the bases to the cardboard floor and then strap the bazooka on it.

if you place the bazooka with the length of the car it wont move as much as it would placed side to side from braking and accelerating.

Strap it down to the tie down cargo hoop in the front and the metal things that the seat latches onto near the rear part of the tube. Won't budge at all.
