What's your situation? i.e. vehicle, sub, enclosure, desired mounting location, etc.? I'm guessing since you're thinking of velcro you're trying to mount a subwoofer somewhere and be able to easily move it. There are many other ways to do this and they will probably be much more effective than using velcro. Not to mention you're gonna have to use a whole BUNCH of velcro--regardless of how strong it is--for it to really be able to secure a sub properly.

Search google for "hook and loop" OR "hook & loop" and you'll get lots of results cuz velcro's a trademark name so companies can't use it. In particular check out 3m's fasteners cuz 3m makes some of the best adhesives and tapes available so I would bet their velcro-type fasteners are top notch as well.

I am debating between velcroing a sub in place or using bungie cords. I don't really want to drill into my car and there are other mounting restrictions such as false floors with foam beneath, thats why I though velcro may do the trick, and then my gf just said bungie cord it, since my trunk has lots of tie points for cords.

In that case, a more secure alternative might be to get a couple eyehook screws to screw into the box, maybe one on each side of the box (except for the bottom). Then run cords through the hooks.

You can look in your local craft store for some industrial strength velcro. I know Jo-Ann Fabrics stores carry it by the yard. It comes in strips about four inches wide too. The glue on the back will stick to just about anything flat enough to adhire to and the velcro side is almost impossible to get apart after you push the two sides together. It should be plenty enough to keep a sub box from rolling around in the trunk. As I said, it's made by Velcro and sold in Jo-Ann Fabrics stores, but if you don't have a Jo-Ann's near home check out your local craft store they may have what your looking for. Here's a link on Velcro's site that shows what your looking for https://www.velcro.com/industrial/index.html
