How do you guys secure your box with ur subs? I've seen straps but that is too ghetto to me. I guess the only other thing is to use brackets but if you have a sealed box doesnt that defy the "sealed" part? Seeing as how screws will make it not be air tight.

Just put a ring of silicon around each screw that you put into the box. It won't leak.

I just screwed a small block of wood in the trunk at each of the corners of the box (front and back)

I've found that Velcro Extreme placed on the bottom of the box works just fine.

N/M I see you have a Fox. I would definitely secure it better than Velcro. Don't want a flying box coming at the back of your head in the event of a collision.

I rivited some shelf brackets to the floor, with a slit in the carpet for them to pass through, and then screwed them to the box
