How to stop subs from moving?

Hey guys just a quick question for the lot of you
As most of you know, ive got a fair serious system in the back of my car. Now, the sub box isnt bolted or secured to the chassis or body in anyway.
But ive noticed that the subs isnt the thing thats moving, its the carpet.
If the subs are on the right place on the carpet, the subs just slide around with the carpet and i can move the carpet back around to where it fits propley and everything.
I find it kinda funny sometimes, when i hit some corners with a bit of speed, i can feel the subs slide and when they hit the side of the boot the car almost flicks lol. not enough to loose it round a corner dont worry lol. Just an interesting feeling xD.
I know it aint the safest thing to have subs that aint bolted down, i duno why they wernt in the first place but anyway.
My subs line up perfectly with that bar that runs accross the top of the boot. That part that sorta drops down with all the little oval holes in it. (you can see it in my signature, that part just above the box) I was thinking i would just get some L brackets from bunnings and just screw it into the frame and then into the sub box.
My other thought was, since the subs dont move on the carpet, the carpet moves around on the boot because of the subs...Maybe i should get some velcro or sumthing and put it under the carpet and secure it to the chassis.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks
I know its not the shortest question, but i like to explain myself fully =)
LATER SKATERS!
