Its not just the thieving gits you should worry about, its Newton’s third law, the one that says For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
If you were unfortunate enough to crash into something, your airbag would probably save your head going into the steering column, the seat restraints would probably stop you going through the screen, the cars crumple zones and controlled deformation would save your legs, then your subwoofer would take your head off.

death trap.
that WILL end up in the front if you crash hard. You obviously have no idea of the forces that are involved in a high speed crash.

look simple enough but not sure if these will be strong enough to stop the sub from flying through my windscreen

your original suggestion of screwing it to the mdf floor is probably the best idea!
Clio 182 Cup
Just got my new 182, used to have a pug gti180, aint had much time to look around the car but i no that in the pug i used 2 hook screws into the back of the seats, then cable tied the sub down with some thick cable ties, this way the seat folded forward still and the sub was still attached and not the end of the world to take out when you have to pick the family up from the air port at 3 in the mornin

i made a false floor in 4 parts, covered in acoustic material, and the sub was screwed sideways from the floor, the parts of the floor could be pulled up very wasily around the spare wheel to get it in and out etc, but once the floor was it it looked impossible to get out because of my smart planning...lol
definatley secure it down, dont take chances with that, you never know what could happen, i spent one saturday afternoon doing mine, well worth it.
also as said make sure you have the tools you put it in with to take it out if u get a flatty, just plan it properly before hand and youll have no problems.
heres mine....

Velcro isnt going to do anything in a big accident. My 15 inch kicker stayed in the boot after my accident, think it was just too damn big to move anywhere lol
