Mutha fcuking amp keeps falling...

I've got a sizeable 600w Kenwood amp pushing a Dual V.C. Fosgate 10" in my gen3 Camry. The amp doesn't weigh a ton but it keeps falling off the back the fcuking seat. I've had to move it 3 or 4 times already and I used coarse thread wood screws so its turning my seat back in to swiss freakin' cheese.
What do you guys do to keep it up there?
I'm trying to avoid relocating it because I did a clean install and all the wires are trimmed, wound and hidden.
Thanks!

Try some self anchoring screws.

are you just screwing it into the carpet on the seat?

in my corolla i put 1/4" wood behind the carpet on the back of the seats and screwed my amp into the wood so it would stay in place.

Your welcome. Oh and sorry I keep on hitting you, it's a spasm or something. Just put some ice on it.

Wood on the back of the seats is inferior, the best way to go is screwing the amp to the top of the sub box..
