Or you could keep it simple and use one of these:

I've used something like this on several Baja Bugs and Manx style buggies in
the past.  Works well.

Hi,
Not even a bolt-on, but a whole re-engineering of the left under dash area.
You could go to a 'mico brake' or whatever it's called.
It's an electrical brake pressure holding valve - all tow trucks have them.
You step on the brake, flip the switch, and all four wheels are held locked
hydraulically.

Draws current of course, and is for short temp 'parking brake' use, and not
actual parking for a few hours or anything.

I think it's tucked in pretty wheel.
I don't think a corner missing from your woofer box would hurt too much.

Got a point there Scott. Not exactly a bolt-on job with a new cable.
Back to the drawing board regarding the subwoofer box...
