I hae a twin sub in the boot which is not secured and has neer moved. My amp is screwed to the top of this and then I hae a single sub modified to slot in the left hand side of the boot. No problems at all with no securing.

I screwed the amp to the back of the box and velcro taped the box to the carpet....job done. hasnt caused any issues since.
Why pay big bucks when you can do it yourself???

There is only one option really, bolt it to the floor. Unless you want to die of course.
