New wicked cas 370z corner sub box magic box thread stealth trunk subwoofer enclosure

pfdaxe, these don't look self tapping. I would think you'd want to use some self tapping wood screws or something? Unless there are some threaded holes already in the box

It looks like there is a wooded ring in the mold that houses the speaker. So wood screws would dig in nicely. Any thoughts?

You are correct. I drilled a small pilot hole and then screwed them in. They tightened nice and snug. I did have to use self-tapping screws to mount box to car though. I did this prior to installing speaker

I ended up using #6 1-1/8" black wood screws. They fit the cutouts in the speakers perfectly and the black makes it all tidy

One thing I am still hung up on is a more secure mounting method. I am hesitant to drill through the magic box and into the vinyl hatch corner. I'm thinking of fabricating 2 brackets that would mount to the edge of the corner trunk molding (see pictures). My goal is to have something that will hold the speaker securely so it won't fly around. Drilling into this trim/edge piece would not be visible when the carpet is covering the mounting point. It would also be a lot easier to remove the sub if needed to access the spare/tools.

Here's where I think would be the spots to fit the brackets to:
