Or perhaps do the same thing, but make a fully enclosing plywood box so four or more tanks can be placed horizontally in the rear underneath the subwoofer, with the tank valves facing forward, and use spacer blocks inside the box, so the tank rim is supported but the valves don't touch anything.

One of my DMs bought some sections of large diameter PVC pipe, large enough that a tank just slides inside of them, and laid them down in the back of their SUV and then put a trimmed sheet of plywood on top. Then the plywood was covered in a matching carpet. I don't remember how they fastened the kit together though. It made it look like a built-in tank storage and then any cargo sits on top of the plywood. No floor space is lost but you do lose about 8-10 inches of height.
 
For what it's worth, I have 2x 10" in my SUV and I just pull the box when I need the space. 4 quick disconnect speaker wires is hardly a chore. I usually dive early in the am and blasting music is the last thing I want to do at 6am heading to the marina. To each his own.

I just made the ole pool noodle and rope rack and strap the tanks down to the cargo tie down rings.
