Installing brackets to mount subwoofer box. Are these spots safe? Pic.
Hey guys. I'm installing a small sealed subwoofer box in my trunk and need to install two brackets through the metal of the trunk floor to keep it from moving around. Each bracket is using two 3/4" long self tapping metal screws and need to be placed in the circled red locations. I just want to make sure i don't put a hole through my gas tank or anything. With a short screw like i'm using, will i risk hitting anything?

Anyone?
I may just lift the car with my floor jack and take a real good look at whats going on under there. I'm pretty sure its safe due to it being the area on each side of the rear diff. I think the tank is situated just foward of these locations.

There are plenty of Evo owners who like to listen to some good tunes while doing 'spirited' driving. If you lived here in SoCal and had to endure our traffic... you'd go nuts without music.
Plus i did plenty of searching and couldn't find anything on the two topics i began. So in the end, threads like this will be very helpful in the future for others who are going to upgrade their stock sound systems and run a search when they run into problems or questions.
And just to make you happy, i'll be posting up my engine mods soon which are in the process of being bought and built once everything is ready for installation. Exhaust, MBC, custom dyno tune, fuel pump, boost/oil/egt gauges, and a few other things.
Anyways.... i've decided to bolt it down a different way. I need to get two L brackets bigger than the ones i have in this photo and connect it to the metal where the rear deck meets the seatback.
