How to stop vibration to the amp.

Hello everyone. I'm about to put my system back in my car but I was wondering what everyone uses to put in between the amp and box to stop vibration? I know most people say the floor; I don't have the extra room. Other people say back of seat; I did that last time but my amps are longer than my seats now so it won't work. Therefore that only room I really have is on top of the box. What do you recommend? Some kind of rubber washer? Thanks

You can get sheets of neoprene foam at a craft store that are about 1/4" thick, use those under the whole amp and rubber washers on both sides of each mounting flange and it's pretty effective.

x2, and make sure the box is well braced so keep vibrations at a minimum from the very beginning.

Screw rubber washers , get some 1" wide rubber weather stripping from lowes or hd. Run a piece down each side of the amp on the bottom before you mount it. Instead of tiny washers you now have a rubber strip on each side of the bottom of your amp the length of the amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
