TheGoat Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I've heard a few different things about this but is it ok to mount an amp to a sub box? Quote
OrionStang Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 People say that the vibrations can damage internals, but think about it, the whole car vibrates. And what about all the vibrations of driving. I don't think its such a bad idea, especially if you're tight on space. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
c.director Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 If the box is vibrating your losing output anyway, so make the box strong and you'll be fine. Quote Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/caleb.arnold.9809 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/CustomAudioChannel?feature=watch

pa-pa-platypus Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 if it worries you get some rubber washers or some type of rubber feet to put under the amp mounting feet.. done it like for a year never had a problem with it Quote This isn't teeball.

fecupe2001 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) i've used amps mounted on the box before without any problems, but i agree with the guys, it needs to be very strong in order to do this witout putting the amp on jeopardy, mannnn my english is getting better and better lol Edited July 18, 2012 by fecupe2001 Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

SnowDrifter Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Im running 3750. Equipment is in my sig. I have my amp mounted to my box, but it also has a 2x4 under it and fiberglass for bracing.

Jessica Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 I was thinking about this today, and i thought the same as others have said, if the box is build right and it's rigid enough, it would be the safest place for the amps. since it is pretty much the source for vibrations. I mean, who puts deadener on the sub box? Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.
