i cant see that box flying through your rear seats.... 
as infinity corsa says, surely a false floor is better than drilling into your car..

I was looking do this but i would still have at lest 1 bolt right in the middle of the box going in to the bootpan.
Im thinking about using metal L shap bracket's. 2 big one's like 15 incl long around 10mm thick 1 inch wide. Then have to bolt's a side with PHILLIPS head's so i can take the box out at any time . I would use water ressistance silicon

ok. Noted
i may a false floor in two halves, then when i put them both in, it fitted perfectly so it wouldn't move at all. You could try something like that? I've had no problems, skweaks (sp  ) or any movement.
im just trying to persuade you here not to drill into your car 
should be no harm in drilling though the left side of the speare wheel well

I know how im going to do it now. No drilling but a bit of welding .
Im going to be using 2 x heavy duty Hinges like this one in the pic. B&Q do them for like £6

The bass will be welded to the boot floor then the arm will be screwed to the side of the box
