How do I keep my sub box from sliding?

I have a regular enclosure for my two 10'' solobarcs and it's great, but it slides all over the trunk. Does anyone have any tips to stop this from happening? I have to open the trunk and slide this thing back on a daily basis. It's really getting annoying... any ideas?

+3 on the velcro.

Staple the rough side to the bottom of the box to create more friction.

what about the other part of the velcro to the trunk? It just seems to me that the velcro will not stick too well to the trunk or the frabric on the box, but it's definitely worth a try.

L brackets? what are those and what do I do with them? Where do i get them? Are they better than velcro to hold the subs in place?

L bracket or velcro? I don't have a power drill on me so I might just have to try out some heavy duty velcro. I'll probably buy both to be safe, but id rather not drill.
