I have had two of them, the first one I cooked the shit out of and it broke. totally my fault. the second one is in my car on .5 daily with zero problems. I'm about to drop the first one back in once it is fixed and run them together at 2ohm each so I don't murder my electrical.

ANy amp sent back with vibration damage is 100% user error, nothing like that can be blamed on the manufacture. The BC5500s are solid amplifiers. If you have any questions about them, shoot myself or Jeff a message, we would be more than happy to help.

vibration issues has nothing to do with an amps quality, it has to do with the installers lack of ability. NO amp is immune to vibration. That local dealer near you needs to learn where he should mount his amps. Failure do to vibration is a installer/user error.

you can also use rubber bushings to absorb vibration. also, if mounted to the floor, false floor, or something on the car, use the bushings and place sound deadener under the amp to absorb a lot of the vibration..

Personally I think it looks stupid when people mount amps on boxes especially since people who don't know any better usually mount capacitors right next to them. Although I have seen someone build a elevated amp rack to an enclosure so it kinda served as a buffer but still. I wouldn't do that.

Yea, you can mount them to a box, but you have to make absolutely sure the walls dont flex a single iota or it limits the life span.
