Mounting Amp(s) to enclosure

[c_hayhurst 10+ year member]

Due to limited space, I will need to mount at least one amp to my sub enclosure.

Besides placing the amp on a layer of RAAMmat or Dynamat, what else can I do to minimize vibration/flexing placed on the amp?

This really is a good problem to have: 3 amps, 2 subs, 900W RMS per sub. MUWAHAHAHA!!!

don't do it... makes for an easy all-in-one stealable package. find room to make an amp rack or something.

rubber grommets/feet that would be between the amp and its mounting area

If the enclosure is built solidly, you can mount the amp to it with no problem. Vibrations from the subs are going to pretty much be the same oll over the car and are generally less than the jolts caused by driving on crappy pavement.

If the enclosure is secured to the vehicle like it should be it will be hard enough to steal that having the amp bolted to it might make it more secure.

Use thicker wood in the face the amp is gonna be, or brace the box.
