Ronin Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Where would you guys suggest mounting a pretty large amp? It's 24.5" and to big to mount on the back off my seat any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Idk what kinda car or enclosure you have but maybe the enclosure? Or under the seat (like Steve, that way it won't fall) Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) Mounting it to the box with a sheet of Secondskin between the amp and box should be fine but a general rule is to avoid it in the first place.

hdorre Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I thought mounting on the enclosure is bad for the amp. my dad had his fosgate amp mounted on his enclosure without problems but his setup was weak. What kind of car do you have, that would help answer your question.

audiofanaticz Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) What kind of amp is it? Depending on if it uses vertical, horazontal, or 45degree mosfet mounting can determine if the amp will work ok on a box or not. Vertical fets are the worse and to many vibrations may cause the mosfet legs to snap and fry the amp. The way Rockford Amps are made and how the mosfets are mounted is what allows people to mount them on the box. I personally dont see a sheet of sound deadening of ANY KIND will eliminate the vibrations caused from mounting a amp on a box. The only proper way to do it is with 4 soft rubber type spacer/washer (at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch long to put between the amp and the box, and NOT tighten the mounting screws totally tight to the point you compress the rubber bushings fully.

Zapco amp,I'm not mounting on the box. Too many issues with that,if someone gets into my car that will be too easy to just snatch the box and have damn near everything.

Hotdog Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Best way to Mount an Large amp is to get one of these. Really try bolting the box to the floor then Bolt the amp to the box with some rubber grommets.
