Best way to mount amps to a box


Recommended Posts

So what are some of the best ways that you guys have seen and/or mounted an amp to your box to minimize vibrations to the amp. I understand that it is not the best location for an amp, but in a buddy's setup there is no other practical place for an amp.

Some people use polyurethane or rubber bushings. I used a stack of 4 or 5 washers and haven't had any issuses...amp has been mounted the same way since 2011

You know that feeling you get in your chest? Same thing happens to the amp. Box mounting is fine. I used rubber washers and bushings from home depot

I was thinking that multiple rubber washers or plastic washers would work. But I was just curious how well it would work or if there was a better way. Thanks for the input guys

Rubber washers really don't do shit when used like that. But your box really should be one of the most solid places to mount an amp really. I have had mine mounted on my box for a couple years now with out any issues. Of course I had one of the better box builders out there design and build my box.

That's kinda what I thought,I assumed it would take an ass ton of rubber washers to do anything
