Lol take them out indeed, also.. since realised this is the wrong section. BALLS!

Velcro pads safe enough with the heat generated?

how will heat effect velcro

you could build an mdf floor to the shape of the boot, cover it in carbet and use brackets and screws to fix it to tht, wnt move then, unless you roll the car

Go to a local fabric shop and get a length of velcro. Put it along the base of the sub and amp. I only used one side of the velcro cause the boot carpet was enough for it to stick to. Worked really well

Because i'm an idiot that believed it would
Is it safe enough to mount the amp to the side of the sub or better off from it?

make a false floor out of shitty chipboard. get black screws and then on the bottom overlap of the sub box screw it into the chipboard, works amazing and you cant see any fixings

Fuck that. Just screw it in, you'll have 4 screws lying about so saves buying Velcro.
