Securing a Daily Driving Wall

How does everyone secure their walls in their daily drivers? I'm looking at doing a wall and this is the only concern I have left.

Or can I just use trim panels and expanding foam to hold the box in place at both the front and back?

expanding foam let it dry 1st
then trim panels go on

if you do trim panels with the foam wet this can go bad fast

Is it pretty easy to do the bolts? Thats my biggest fear of the whole project. I made a half wall in the trunk of my car before and it was no problem. I also am weary of doing the bolts because if I want to change my equipment down the road I might not be able to use the same bolt holes. Also, do I have to screw the trim panels on as well or will wood glue be enough?

Alright, probably gonna start the build on sat, taking pics as I go. Its just gonna be 2 5 cubic foot boxes @30 hertz, stand them side by side with sub in the middle and port on top, and glue and screw them together. Should be alright for a daily driver. I want to be able to hit the lows fairly decent, as the box I have right now @35 hertz doesn't quite do justice.
