Cj Kumz Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Hey people. Quick question here. Okey I have seen many builds where people mount the amp on their boxes, but just a thought here doesn't the direct vibration from the box have any effect on the amp?? Just wanna be sure in case of anything lol Vw Polo Pioneer Deh-6050UB Sundown Saz-3500d DD Audio 9500 15'' 5.5 cubic feet box with 10 inch port @ 38hz I live to hear the Bass drop!!!
thefourth Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 It's not a good idea IMO but, if you can find some thick enough rubber to put under the mounting feet that may be enough to absorb SOME of the vibrations. Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.
Cannoy Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I could be wrong but the amp being mounted to the box isnt going to pick up much more vibration than if it were sitting next to the box. If a box is heavy enough i dont think it will transfer too much vibration from the sub.

If a box is heavy enough i dont think it will transfer too much vibration from the sub. In some cases yes, if the box is thick enough and braced well. I still don't think it's a good idea, unless you have no where else to put it. I'd rather be safe than loose equipment over carelessness.

jdshott Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I never recommend mounting a amp to the box. IMO ... And there are a few more threads on this subject as to why or why not. No 1 But me paid for this stuff and NO FREEBIES so no brand names (No Free Advertisement ) A SQ head unit 6 5.25 2 X 6x9s 7804 P400.4 4001D 1 34s (Maybe time to change brand) 4 X 15" s !/0 @ 2/0 OFC Wiring :morepower1: :morepower1: ill say it like i always say it. F##K the DD-1. I don't care if you or anyone buys one. (well i do, but that isn't my point) Get an O-scope in the very minimum and learn how to use it or you are just guessing your settings like every other noob. once you master the O-scope then step up to a DD-1 or even better a DD-1 Plus.
RiottStarr Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 IF your enclosure is securely mounted, there should be very little vibration....
tacomaguy1 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 IF your enclosure is securely mounted, there should be very little vibration.... Properly built/braced is more important than box being mounted I've done it lots with no problems but do at your own risk Team Flex Issues
Cannoy Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I know its not really the same, but with home audio, amps never die in powered subwoofers because of vibrations.
Cj Kumz Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks a lot guys. With the setup I have I seem to have no other option. But I wanna try the rubber base method. What is the best type of rubber I can use?? Or anything else apart from rubber??
