Is your box covered in carpet?

The front is, not the back where the amp is going to be

You could try that covering it in carpet like that, I put my amp on my carpeted box with 2 12's and it didn't rattle around.

get a bicycle tire and cut a bunch of 1"x1" squares and put those between the amp and box. rubber spacers work too

but if at all possible don't mount the amp to the box.

i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Nice idea, I never woulda thought of that.

When I have no choice but to mount an amp to an enclosure, I use strips of styrofoam between the amp and the box. You can cut them small enough to be invisible, but keep that amp's chassis off of the box itself. Also, use 1 small rubber washer on each screw holding the amp down.

Thanks guy, just went to pick up some thick rubber sheets from work
