Amp Mounting...

[TheJoker 10+ year member]

OK gang- I use my trunk a lot and I need a way to mount 2 amps without getting too serious into custom work(lack of tools)

I have a Solara and my Single 12 will be in a box roughly 26wx16hx16d. Any recommendations for Amp mounting without taking up my entire trunk.

I have to be able to use 50% of my trunk for HEAVy boxes, (no false floor)

Can amps be mounted safely on My ported box? Will screwing into the box affect the integrity of it? We talk so much about sealing joints and such on a box- sticking a screw into the wood seems silly to me.

I've thought about a 2 tier set up. Cant find any good pics or ideas though.

I like the idea but dont know if I can pull the wiring off clean enough or not on the second tier.

I'm thinking 4 clear acrylic posts to hold the second level up and mount second amp on top of 1st., 2-4" clearance to allow air flow. Any other ideas? No fiberglass work.

Thanks

People have reported that mounting amps to the sub box causes fatigue of amp parts from vibration and they shake themselves apart. If you go this route, isolate the amp with rubber pads or something.
