not bad at all if the box is well-built and doesn't vibrate really bad. I don't mount amps on my boxes anymore tho just because I don't like putting more holes in my boxes

only thing bad about it is that if you get broken into , all they have to do is cut three wires and pull out rca's and amp and subs gone in one shot. if amp can be mounted elsewhere i would recommend it highly

x2 one hitta-quitta. Also if you need the trunk for a quick haul, mounting the amp elsewhere you only have to un hook your subs...

What do you do to keep your speaker leads from shorting out with the subwoofers disconnected?

lol....well the reason im asking is today driving around i saw a cop so i turned my music all the way down then when i ot back in the car the 4ch didnt work and didnt have the power light on only the sub amp was on. im hoping that maybe it got hott and blew the fuse (in the distribution block) ...im hoping!!! the amp is part way under the sub box since i just threw the box in. get what im saying?
