Mounting amps on the box at any time is a mistake, the vibrations even through a foot thick with that much power is defiantly gonna cause some issues, have you tried putting some dynomat down below the amps to absorb the vibrations?

Nope.  I mount my 5Ks to a double thick wall (1.5" thick) with bracing, NO ISSUES.

Wurd. Our baffle is one of the most ridged,  strongest parts of the rig. The sad thing is, with large, space consuming builds,  the enclosure may be the ONLY option/place to mount boards. You just try and make it the best you can...

It is just what I have heard over the years with a sh!t-load of power, but not always does it happen, since I myself used to do it alot back in the day but haven't in a good while since I have my truck now instead of my pos car!

mounting amps on the box when you don't know how to build a box is a mistake.  Mine don't vibrate or flex and i have never had an amp go bad.

how are your amps dying from bass in that location? shouldn't be any bass in that spot at all. That mounting board looks weak, is the entire car vibrating? Does it have a stiff suspension? I can see a really hard bump, in a really heavy vehicle, with a stiff or bottomed out suspension causing more problems than bass in this situation.

gotta agree on the suspension/mounting being the issue not bass
