What kind of box - wood or FG?  Molded or not?  If so, molded to what?

I HATE THAT CAR! GRRRRRR. I'll have it back here in the morning from the window tint guys and see what can be done for you. I'll be so glad when it is finished this weekend.
Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

If it molds along the rear wheel well, which it probably does, you can punch a hole (carefully) thru that well & thread a bolt in from the outside thru the box & bolt it down stealth.  This is what the JL Stealthboxes do.  Best is if you put a hole in the box, then FG a T-nut or recessed furniture nut into place over the hole.  Then mark where that bolt mates to the wheel well & punch thru - should be less than 2".  Put the box in place & thread the bolt in from outside the car in the wheel well, bolt it down.  Use a BIG washer & coat the bolt head with underbody spray to keep it from corroding.  It's easy to remove & mask & is totally secure.

hey.
i made a FG box molded to the corner of my trunk.. i took out of the fastners that lock the carpet out so i have a hole to connect my box.. so i drilled it to line up... but with the box in place i only have access to one side of the box.. so if i screw a bolt in.. i cant hold the nut to tighten it... so is there like a special type of screw i can just so i only have to have access on one side?
how do you installers secure your boxes?
thanks!
