yes you can, build your box strong and you wont have any problems, end of thread :) the amp is gona have vibrations basically anywhere you mount in a vehicle with a system, unless it a wall sealed off and you mount on the back side of it...and honestly its still gona get a lil vibrations back there too

im most likely going to be having to attach both my amps to my box in some way or another when it comes time to do my build, however i still make a seperate amp rack with closed cell foam between the rack and box, then rubber bushings on the mounting feet

in my small trunk its really my only resort

i think this is a 50/50 subject. this will probably end up like every other capacitor topic that has been made. people fighting.

Just brace your box properly and you won't have any issues. Most people don't though, so I can see why they'd have vibration issues.

This.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

ehhhh personally i wouldnt unless i was running some small shit like 8's or some low powered 10's

look at my sig, i have my amps mounted to the box. always have.

some it depends on the amps though guys as well as bracing

i know with my powerbass xa3000ds they dont like the slightest rattling/having heavy things placed on them

i had one mounted (see picture) like this but i had added 2 2x4s going from left to right and had the amp mounted to that still rattled to shit

alright, if i were to mount my amp (SAZ-1500) on my box just to be on the safe side, what would i put in-between the screws and box to make less vibration on the amp?

^^ c-fuzzy ur an idiot, my 15" soround is waay bigger cuz its a tall sorround, on top of that I HAVE A BIGGER MOTOR... oh yeah and fuck u suck my dick i got your hoes!

anywhere they want to. They cant hear anyone telling them otherwise. just because its bigger doesnt make it any different. they just piss people off faster and farther away.

The bigger the amp is, the more parts are inside, the more of a chance you have to vibrate stuff loose. But as stated above, if you have a properly braced box, you will be fine.

I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me.

u hate c-fizzy?

and put the amp close to the edges of the box. not in the middle for obvious reasons.
