here I made a little picture for you


grey is "your trunk"
red is "your box"
blue are proposed braces
green are optional placement, but you'd need to get tricky to mount on the edges of the box.

Personally I'd make the arm of the braces out of 2x2 firring strips(2" by 2" wood) and make the end pieces out of 1/2" ply, carpet them, and make it so they are just long enough to fit, but you have to nudge them in , also you could screw them into the box if you don't plan on taking them in and out, that way your box won't slide all over the place. If I have time I'll try and find the brace I used to have to keep my amp rack from sliding backwards ever time I hit the gas, and I also had my rally braces for my subs to keep them from tipping in when I was playing rally driver lol. The box I have in now is so freaking huge, I just put a carpeted chunk of 2 x 4 and push the box forward, and put it in. No sliding


Alternatively you could put two braces in the front instad on one, to clear the sub.
