ham4864 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Posted September 16, 2013 I remember years ago when i mounted my amp to my sub box. I have seen people do this and i heard it was a bad thing to do. I have seen a guy use a few layers of wood on the box then mount the amp to that. 2009 bmw 5 series Head Unit Stock Amplifier-JL Audio JX 360/4 Processor- Audiocontrol LC6
lightfoot Posted September 16, 2013 Report Posted September 16, 2013 people sill do it. Does not mean it is the right thing to do though. Mounting amplifiers to your enclosure tends to rattle the components loose.

SnowDrifter Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 I do it. As long as you don't have box flex it's fine. If you do, you should brace your box anyway.

David Bailey Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 I see people using rubber bushings between the amp and box to dampen the vibration. I'm sure that helps a little bit, but why not just built an amp rack? It will look a lot better and protect the amp. Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

SnowDrifter Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 Quick word regarding rubber bushings: Those don't do anything unless you put bushings on the backside of the screw too. And use a screw with an unthreaded shank so the threads don't grab on the amp ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444

walwalka Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 Mine aren't mounted to my box directly.. But the only way I could mount my amps was to build a rack at an angle and attach it to the box. I went to lowes and got a hot water line insulator, put it between the amp rack and the box. It still vibrates some but now as much as it did.

TeamHT Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 People say it's ok as long as there's no box flex but I have to disagree. Sit on your box for a couple songs and see if you find it comfortable. If it is, go ahead. If not, then I wouldn't. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
