The rubicons are sensitive to heavy vibrations. IMO, mounting an amp to a sub box is just asking for trouble in the first place. If you *need* to mount it to the box, make sure the side of the box you are mounting it to is rock solid and put rubber feet on the amp to kill vibrations.

mounting to a box is no different then mounting your amp to the floor.

Well i will be running about 1200 watts, and here is my sub design
was hoping to mount to the side facing us in the pic, or on top of the port //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ( the wood above it )

1200 watts you prolly wont have an issue.just insulate the amp with a cushion or rubber on the feet.

10,000 watts he won't have a problem. Every part of your car will vibrate, not just your box. Any amp that is not made of pudding will be fine as long as it's not flexing and smacking into the amplifier.

nooo velcro for the box to the car haha, ( carpet ) of the car..
i will use some inch long screws and make some 1/4thick washers from some fuel tube and put it inbetween the box and the amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
I see where you are going with this, but putting the amp down on the floor against the carpet will be a lot more vibration resistant than the box...that isn't to say the floor won't vibrate, but the box is the main source of the vibration, and mounting an amp to it that is secured tightly won't allow for much wiggle room so the amp takes a lot of the vibration to it. Hope that made sense

Oh that makes more sense. Ur local home depot or lowes with have the Velcro. Might even think about using L-brackets and just mount box to the false floor..

haha well my box is on the back of a seat that folds up/down soooo.... i can't use L brackets //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif wish i could!
also i put my box in the back of my car to see how much it moved and after about 3 days of moving its moved around some, so its a need to be velcro'd ( i was surprised, its heavy )
