Tim says on one of those installs that he had two screws behind each speaker holding the whole thing to the bottom of the trunk lid.  If you need more info, I recommend that you email him from the link on the Hzemall site.

The best way that i have found to do a trunk lid mount screen is to remove the lid and make a mold of the underside using tape. remember to sound deaden first or esle it won't fit. as far as mounting, before you glass on the tape mark a few spots along the cross bracing with a sharpie. Make sure that you can reach the marks through the speaker and screen holes that you'll be making later. Then I used fat screws with speed clips to attatch the pod in place.
if at first you don't succeed, kick it, burn it and throw it away.

those are speed clips alright.. as for mounting, it depends on the texture of the carpet. carpet is very forgiving. usually you can make a small incision and glue the carpet back down with no visablity. just be carefull. also you can use a carpet nap tool or a small wire brush to hide the seam. if you need more info you can e-mail me at www.brandon@wired-up909.com. or just check out our site at www.wired-up909.com. now my question is why carpet? why not vinyll or paint?

Well I dont want to vinyl or paint because the rest of the trunk is still the factory carpet.  I have my fiberglass box painted, but thats the only thing.  So I want it to match the factory carpet as best it can, to continue to match.

Yeah hey man that scions pretty cool I like the box you guys built for it.  Is that a pocket for the amps or is that a hole that is going through there? With the slits you were talking about making in the carpet I wonder if I could drill holes and mount those speed clips you were talking about screw them in and then glue the carpet back.  Anyone have another idea for how to mount it?

Tim had the speakers mounted last I think.  The screws were right under the speakers in the holes.  So you can carpet the whole thing and finish it up and then screw it down and then mount the speakers to it last to cover up where the mounting screws are.
